I'm just catching up on a lot of stuff here. Really sorry to read your devastating news. Take care guys x
That should be a little bit of a comfort, in time. I've seen both sides of the coin with my parents and I don't want to suffer.
Anyway. Off to make the most of the day today. Going for a surf in a bit, then taking my little un' on a boat trip sea safari this afternoon to look for Dolphins, Seals
Thanks mate Yeah, very true. She had a good innings, but it was rather sudden. She caught a chest infection and didn’t seem to have the strength to fight it off.
Never an easy time, but at least she didn't suffer for too long. My old man is gradually dissolving in front of me with Dementia, it's ****ing tragic seeing my parents go through that ****.
I can imagine! It must be so hard for your Mum trying to cope with him on a daily basis. My ex mother in law had Alzheimer’s. Not easy to deal with and the deterioration seems inexorable. My Uncle has it too. There’s little point going to visit him anymore. He can’t really speak, has no idea of who anybody is, and just sits there staring ahead. Tragic.
Going through similar with my Dad . 93 in July if he makes it , mentally sharp as a tack , but cancer has been eating him up slowly but surely , it’s like his body has said I give up . Is it cruel to hope he just goes to sleep and doesn’t wake up ?
No mate. I think the same about my Dad. It would be kinder if he just went quickly, rather than losing all of his faculties slowly.
