I feel so sorry for my Mum.
Pre AD, she was so sociable – constantly playing bowls, going out for meals – visiting friends etc. Now she’s in a home and when I went in today – on her 78th birthday, she didn’t have one single card. Just where have all her friends gone???
My card looked so pathetic sat all alone on her window – quite ironic since mum spends most of her time sat all alone on her bed. I know that she would have got another card when my brother went in to see her tonight – but nothing off my other 2 sisters, which really upset me.
Eldest sister who lives away e-mailed me to say she was thinking of her, but hadn’t sent a card because didn’t seem any point! I can understand that in a way, but it still really upset me, but then I didn’t feel as though I could actually say anything, because that would have made her feel really bad. I sometimes feel as though I spend all my time trying not to upset people!!!
As for friends – again I can understand that they might find it difficult to visit her, but surely they can remember her birthday and send a card – how difficult is that!!!
I feel so angry and upset, and at at times I feel that some people act as if she's dead and forgotten about already. What a sad sad way to spend your final years
