my dad died at home last year after looking after him for 10 years, now i am just looking after mum, who is 93 this year.
a few weeks before dad died at home, we had to have our cat put down
due to illness which was awful as we all loved the cat so much, made a difficult situation with my dads illness seem even worse somehow, long term caring is very stressful and frustrating, i cant remember the last time i was able to have some sort of life of my own, but we soldier on dont we??
New Year, new start! i am concentrating now on losing weight ive gained and exercising more, i figure the healthier i am, the better i can cope with whatever life throws at me!! i wish everyone who is caring and coping with the difficulties that causes,(anger/resentment/tiredness etc) a very good
New Year, and remember your not alone, there are millions of us!
i read a good blog the other day, i recommend reading it, just google
number 18 in the corner, its brilliant and very real!! bye for now
