Hi everyone,
My Dad has advancing vascular dementia. We have cared for him at home for the two years since my Mum died. He insisted on staying at home but recently had a bad fall. The fire brigade had to smash the glass in two doors to get into the house and the paramedics found my Dad on the floor and they think he may have been there all night. He was in hospital for six days but has lost his ability to walk unaided.
This was the turning point when we realised that he needed 24/7 nursing care. He has been in a lovely nursing home now for three weeks but the feelings of guilt are still overwhelming. Does anyone else feel like this and does it ease in time ? ?♀️
