Hello everyone
Sorry to moan but I have just visited mom and like all the other visits over the past twelve months 95% of the time she was crying. We lost our much loved dad twelve months ago and mom is clinging to the belief that this is why she is so low in mood. She thinks that he only died 6 weeks ago. This is so hard because I still hope that one of my visits will be cheerful and also because I am missing dad so much myself and moms crying,even though she can't help it, brings back so many sad memories. We are also giving her house up this week because it is rented and she will never go home. It's hard because we are giving some of her things away and this seems so wrong. She is saying all the time that she wants to go home and I feel so guilty because I know that she no longer has a home to go to. I am not sure if we should tell her. The thing is she will most likely forget within an hour of my visit so why hurt her. I just wish that we could stop the crying.
Thanks for listening. I am usually a cheerful person, honest, but this year has been so bad that my sense of humour has left me at the moment.
