Michael, I am so sorry to hear of Heather's passing. No words will ever do the unbearable pain you are feeling justice. I know as difficult as it was, it gave me peace to know that I was with Raymond until the end as well. I was not able to post much about it, it was all a bit raw at the time. Think...

All the best Micheal. I looked after Raymond at home for as long as I could... physically, it was very demanding, he weighed 130 kgs at one time there. We were referred to the local palliative care hospital several months before he passed, but he refused to discuss palliative care. However, he was f...

Re: I dont know about that
Some say damn the statistics and I agree to a certain extent, but I am still very scared. Thankfully I dont show this to anyone, nor tell anyone, I just have these alone feelings alone. Thanks and take care. I think most of us carers could have typed this exact same post, so you are NOT alone! It's...

Alley, I wanted to say that I've been thinking of you recently. Your story has touched me, and I hope an answer will soon be your way. If I could reach out and hug you, I would wrap my arms around you and tell you all will be ok. I can't understand life sometimes, but one day at a time, one hour at ...

Oh Alley, there are no words that can describe the utter feeling of loss, pain and grief that just washed over me as I read your post. I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

However, side effects have been worse with numerous chest infection, eye infections, ulcers, and needing blood transfusions (whic...

Hi Alley and Montaldi, I'm now described as a carer. I'm also a mum of two kids and work full time. My husband's condition has deteriorated a lot since xmas day. In the last couple of weeks, we've had the house modified with rails, wheel chair ramp, shower heads changed and now a wheelchair and wal...

I am sorry that you had an argument. It's never nice to argue, and certainly not when faced with the problems we all are. I guess from my post, I wanted to point out to you also the need for you to get as much help as you can (easier said than done) so that you are best able to meet all the demands ...
