Syd - you are just one of millions/billions other like minded folks just going through the motions enjoying the good times and grieving the sad times. Its called a life mate. Chin up and best foot forward to us all.
Very Much THIS Am really sorry to hear about your mum Syd - and like Sunderland Sam says, you are a long way from being boring. Bart
I'm sorry to hear about your mother, Syd. Can't add anything to that. As you know, my parents and me were not, shall we say, close, and I just can't relate to your present distress. But I understand distress in one way or another, and offer my sympathies. Good luck.
Thanks but I am one of many, many and was not looking for sympaphy. In the scheme of things we are fine, she has no idea what is going on and feels no pain so it could be a lot worse, I know because I see some of the other residents.
I didn't mean to sound trivial or anything, Syd. Please don't take it that way. But I'd sympathise with all those in your position if I came into contact with them. It's just that I came into contact with you and not them. Maybe I'm not good at this stuff and should just shut up. Good luck to you, your sister and your mother anyway - and please take it as heartfelt. The woman did her best, and doesn't deserve this.
