Hi,
I am sorry to burden others with my woes, because I know that there are a lot of people out there in worse situations than me, but I just need to talk to someone.
This last 2 months have been hard, yes Christmas included, you see I live at home with my mother and father, trying to do my best for them, after all they brought me up to respect my elders for thing and not only that, they are my parents and I love them both dearly, you see my mother who suffers from dementia had a fall the weekend before Christmas and needless to say ended up in hospital over the Christmas & New Year period, she has now been moved to Rehabilitation Unit/Old peoples Home to try and get her mobility back, so she can return home.
All this time I have had to be strong for my father, try and see him though this difficult time, as well as find out about all the services and help that would be available to them if mother ever regains the mobility for her return to home, and what would be available to them if she is unable to return home. Plus act as the point of communication for my older brother and younger sister, both of whom have been at one time or another been on the phone breaking their hearts to me. All of this as well as working a minimum of 8 hours a day, although I guess I can try to bury myself in my work for those few hours.
I guess I am just asking who I do turn to, when do I get the chance to let go and have a good cry, on who's shoulder do I cry on. (Sorry feeling sorry for myself again.)
The weekends are spent visiting my mother and trying to catch up on some sleep, when ever I have the chance. Well there you go its off my chest now, so hey as I said before its not all that bad, everything happens for a reason, I just wish my mother could have peace, its not nice seeing her suffer the way she does, and at the same time I do not want my father to suffer the loss of the woman he so dearly loves, as I do. Talk about caught between a rock and a hard place.
Still thats life, and life goes on, and so do I it seems.
Thank you for being there,
Wshing you all,
Peace Health & Happiness Always
Luv
Jane Morris
