But my new Mother in Law (a lady I have know and loved since I was 14 years old) has finally gone into a nursing home (Parkinsons and related dementia)<br />We haven't got to the bit where she forgets who we are yet, but I draw upon a blog you wrote about your Mum's dementia quite a while ago. The gentle reminiscences, not reminding. The guiding, not correcting. I've thought of you often.<br />Sending love x<br />Velveteen Rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711895975679490071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837862718388354747.post-26844587801572242602016-02-25T16:26:48.334+00:002016-02-25T16:26:48.334+00:00Gigi - thank you, bloomin hard all round, I can t ...Gigi - thank you, bloomin hard all round, I can t even begin to write of how I think our old folk are cared for, I'd probably get arrested!!!!auntiegwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03605486752049211743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837862718388354747.post-7916399246333307282016-02-25T16:24:12.148+00:002016-02-25T16:24:12.148+00:00LRH - in some ways its harder than her being dead,...LRH - in some ways its harder than her being dead, awful hard stuff<br /><br />M&J - you hear that all the time, this kind of stuff really divides families. fortunately my sister and I are still good, hopefully always so<br /><br />Addy - I'm sure you're right, he was hell bent on getting it done but my sister and I knew what they wanted so it would have been okay but he'll be happier for a while knowing its sorted.<br /><br />Libs - thanks my dear, sending them back, I am trying not to think of what they could be spending their money on instead and I am trying very hard not to blog about what £40 k a year in a nursing home actually looks like, in case I make you all afeared.

Hoping your Dad bounces back soon. Maybe he was aware he was death's door himself and wanted to get the practicalities of your mum's funeral sorted in case he was not around to deal with it.

My family didn't, but my husband's Dad has Alzheimer and my wonderful Mother-in-law almost killed herself trying to take care of him. He was finally put in a home and my oldest Brother-in-law gave her hell for this though he had done nothing to help. Well, what goes around comes around. My Brother-in-law was diagnosed with Dementia and was put in a nursing home in November, he died in January.<br />It's so hard, particularly long distance. We live in Georgia and my husband's family is in California, nearly 3000 miles away.<br />Well at least you got a nice hotel break.<br />Mac n' Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732924562630675589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837862718388354747.post-70953639374772594912016-02-24T17:52:19.104+00:002016-02-24T17:52:19.104+00:00That's so sad about your mum and also your dad...That's so sad about your mum and also your dad.
