Dear All
I have not posted for a long time as i feel you all are dealing with dear family who are at a stage that my dad was at 2 years ago. I get the feeling that none of you want to accept that this is where you are going? Sorry to sound so hurtful but although my dad has no communication at all now and sleeps for 20/24 he is still my dad and myself and others are surely in the same situation. i am all for giving support to those that are facing the nightmare of where me and my family have been, but we still hurt and i am supporting a mother through this awful time after 51 years of marriage - to the point that she can not face seeing him this week curled in a ball yet again.
Please remember that this awful disease goes on and on and that close family suffering goes on and on - except for the brothers and sisters that seem not to care!
Yes at a low point and where does it all end?
What do you do when visiting someone in this state - i take fresh flowers every week, i cuddle my dad but he doesn't know i'm there!!!
It would be so nice if my sister or brothers visited - the last time my sister went was 6 weeks ago, my brother even longer and my youngest brother has never been in 4 1/2 years!!
Well my winge and tears are over - why i feel like tjis tonight = who knows - maybe because mum won't go and i will have to go by myself. Thanks for listening Sue
