Hiya,
feeliing really low tonight and dont know what to do.
Mum is having a bad time at the moment. Physically as well as mentally. Gp thinks I should start thinking about a home, but I am hanging on to the good days and know that when she has them the last place she will want to be is in a home. My Dad (died 5 yrs ago0 built the house she is in and its full of memories - how can I take them away from her?
How do I know when its the right time? Mum still knows me even if she gets the children muddled up (we all do that dont we?).
She has so many "friends" yet they have all stopped visiting. I have asked my friend at Church if she can rally any visitors yet they havent been. Not even the Vicar - should I be mad or just think she is busy? Why do people shy away from Dementia - Mum cant and nor can I so why should friends?
I am sorry I sound bitter but I am and very muddled tonight. Can anyone help me???
