Hi Jane, so kind of you to message when you must be going through so much and emotions all over the place, you must give yourself time. Xxhello Muggers I am still with you and your lovely mum, peace will be soon.sending love and strength
I’m so sorry you feel that way Jane. I know you can’t see it yet, but all I’ve read here are your greatest efforts to care for your Mum, to get all the right information from a range of doctors and carers, and fighting to ensure that she was pain-free. You’ve been far more brave than I could imagine myself being. Your strength just continuing to fight your Mum’s corner, has been inspiring.i would like to thank all you wonderful people for all your support iy has been the most horrifying time and my heart goes out o you all that are still going through it.
you can all hold you heads up knowing that you are amazing people doing all you can for your loved ones
i can not do that, i let my mum down at a critical time and I cant fathom out why or how to live with hat fact now she has gone.
Yes she had dementia and it was always going to end like this, but I didn't keep her safe , I was a coward and neglectful. So ashamed and so grateful of your support on here i wish i had invested in the forum earlier. I joined in August but didn't really take part until it was too late.
I would like everyone who is touched by dementia to be directed straight here it is a life line.
Oh Jane, you mustn’t beat yourself up, there is no right or wrong way of dealing with what you have been through or what you are going through, I’m sure all of us on here have or will have some kind of regret or guilt, it’s a process and right now you’re emotions are all over the place, give yourself a break lovey you’re only human. Xxi would like to thank all you wonderful people for all your support iy has been the most horrifying time and my heart goes out o you all that are still going through it.

I find myself in a similar strange position. Never imagined I'd be posting on the End of Life Care thread but here I am. Mum had a possible further TIA and the GP said she may rally or fade away. We now have 'just in case medication' and the district nurses have visited. I did find out yesterday from the GP that mum has advanced vascular disease and hadn't been expected to recover from the TIA she had in December. It makes it a bit easier to cope with that it is so advanced and would have been coming on for years. Strange how mum recovers from one thing and I think she is 'getting better' then something else happens. Mum is doing a lot of sleeping now and not eating much though still wanting food. It's so hard to see our loved ones like this. Hugs to you.Does end of life ever end, four weeks since discharge from hospital with AD at end of life , weaning spoons of porridge and sips of liquid only since the 23rd of Feb .
Always a joy when mum opens her eyes and chats (nothing that makes sense).
I have fantasy that she will wake up put her teeth back in and eat a portion of fish and chips...as that is where she was in February as well as being mobile and Continent. I know that is not going to happen.
Meanwhile all our lives on hold and treasuring every minute we get, though question the quality of life she has,,,and prying that she can pass peacefully.
lots of sleep now no idea if that is an indicator of anything?
My thoughts go out for all families that are in this position.
