Weight loss - how much more?
- Thread starter Hezzy
- Start date
Thankfully I did sleep better and that always helps!
Holiday sounds like a good idea, I have been mulling over the calendar and will consider that myself too.
Take care Gwendy. x
Still enduring
She now has a regular pattern of eating breakfast then sleeping the rest of the time.
When I'm there she sort of raises her eyebrows but that's all for nearly a week now.
I just have this constant uneasiness in my stomach.
The invisible appeared for 20 minutes at the weekend!

The constant feeling of uneasiness is horrible. Hope you do get some time off, too much to cope with at once. Every morning I wake up and think, well, the phone didn't ring.. Sadly, it's gone on for months. The worry and stress overshadows everything, even though I fight it, it's always there. Difficult times,thinking of you. X

Yes absolutely I think that every morning too!
I suppose it's no more likely to ring at night as in the day ha!
I hope you are managing to relax a bit in your time off. As I only work part time I'm not too hard done by really. We do have an actual holiday booked in a few weeks, I can only see what happens day by day I suppose and not worry about that yet.
Hello Hezzy, just wanted to say Hello, I have read your post, it is so upsetting isn't it. My Mum is now really struggling with food and drink, her BMI is down to around 14.5. It is so difficult, I am ashamed to admit that I wish she would just sleep and not wake up again. My uneasy tummy feeling is there morning noon and night 
Thinking of you and yours.

Hi Toddleo, thanks for you reply.
Totally understand your wishes, I am the same.
Yesterday my mom seemed completely asleep when I went, and hadn't eaten anything yesterday so I am praying for a release soon.
I feel like the tension is building within me. She is now off dementia meds, I can't see that will make any difference now though. I can't seem to focus on anything at all at the moment, but there's nothing I can do in any case. I've spent years caring for her and its like a huge pause, everything is on hold in a new way.
Aww... Hezzy, It's a relief, it's so sad......it's numbing....... and my saying "been there" doesn't really help. But I'm thinking of you, with sympathy.x.x.
Oh Hezzy, bless you, your mum has gone now.
I have not experienced what you are going through (yet), who knows if you will ever feel like the weight has been lifted and if the uneasiness you have been feeling will now leave you?
Grief takes many forms, just breathe and realise that you did just great with your dear mum.
hugs and condolences Toddleo

I'm so sorry for you.
I can well understand that feeling of numbness that it's now 'finally over'. I expect I will feel the same when my mother 'goes' eventually, as I too have been 'on tenderhooks' for months now and can imagine what you've been going through.

Hezzy you have been in my thoughts it's such a sad time and I can understand you not feeling how you expected I do hope you find the next few days easyer we always here for you xxx
Hezzy I know how hard this is as I lost my wonderful dad on 14/8. You will just feel numb for a while. Only now am I realising what he went through and how frail he was ( about 5 ish stone) I was in robot mode before. It takes time. Sadly we have to carve out a new normal of not rushing to see them all the time. I am so sorry for your loss. I feel your pain. The relief will come, they are no longer suffering. But I know too well that doesn't make it easier. I wish you strength Hezzy. Take care xx
