Good morning
I've not posted for such a long time so feel guilty about my query and also that I'm being very selfish. Mum has been in a really good care home for almost 2 years now. She was admitted for a variety of health issues but was only diagnosed with mixed dementia 6 months after admission. I cannot fault her care and she still seems in a happy little world although she does say and believe the strangest things - my brother and I knew to expect this. I am so grateful for her care but I still struggle myself with all that's happened. I've pretty much cut myself off from people and feel so lonely, anxious and depressed. I dread what is ahead. I know so many of you are in a far worse position than I and I'm so sorry if my post seems selfish. I now live with my brother who is lovely but don't want to burden him further as I know he too is worried. I'm 61 but feel like a silly child revealing all this. Does anyone else out there feel like this? Thank you so much for your time.
