Ithought and believed that I have done my grieving for my mother over the past year, so that every new challenge and hurdle I just tackled head on..and at times look forward to the day that it will all be over..
this week mum has had a dramatic down turn, is now not weight bearing and is bedridden (the application for NHS continuing care that was made six weeks ago and still due to go to panel is now completely out of date whereas we had requested 1 carer twice a day, the requirement now is 2 carers 4 times a day,- the district nurses have stepped in at the moment whilst they apply for emergency funding),
As mum is Italian I bought her a Pavarotti CD today which I put on for her whilst I was feeding her in bed, as the music started she joined in singing along with Pavarotti, and the tears came, here I was spoon feeding my mother in bed, (memory test score of 6 last week) and yet she knew all words to the songs from her youth...
i wonder when the next lot of tears will come?
