Sorry to hear you are all feeling like this! I was in sainsburys yesterday and Mothers Day cards and gifts were surrounding me. I basically stood at the self service till with tears in my eyes! I am 29, 8 months pregnant with a 4 year old. A time where I really need a mum telephone chat to know everything will be fine and just to have a vent because I'm a crazy hormonal lady, I can't as she's in a home.
My heart goes out to all of you. I just try to cherish the good times when I see mum and be greatful that I still have a mum to visit, even though she's not the mum I once knew. Xx

Hi Alex
I've been wondering how you're getting on - not long to go. You must be exhausted! It must be incredibly hard for you without your mum to reassure you - I'm sure she would have been excited about the arrival of a new baby. I've found new babies in our family have given us hope and a reason to enjoy spending time together, they are a great distraction in difficult times, as well as triggering heartbreaking thoughts.
I'm really missing my dad this week - why are some weeks worse than others?! I've found it hard this week to answers questions from others about dad. "Is he ok?" I hope so. "Is he getting better?" There really still isn't the understanding that this is a terminal illness. "How are you?" - distraught but the easier answer is fine!!!
I really feel like the rest of the world is shut off from this world of dementia... I truly am grateful that I can speak to people on here where you don't have to explain!
