My mother said that wedding anniversaries felt like a farce.<br /><br />It's what you're subjected to, have to endure that is so much harder than anything you take on determinedly yourself.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-59292530238101065722010-02-04T12:35:56.668+01:002010-02-04T12:35:56.668+01:00That is the most moving thing I have read in a lon...That is the most moving thing I have read in a long time.<br />It sounds like your poor mother is "caring" for someone that she doesn't even like which seems like one of the worst torments to me.<br />There is no person there as you say just a zombie.<br /><br />Sympathy.<br /><br />NickNick Kotarskihttp://kotarski.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-50755396075633316222010-02-03T21:53:24.270+01:002010-02-03T21:53:24.270+01:00Thanks, DD, they were very interesting, and scary!...Thanks, DD, they were very interesting, and scary!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-42282252679297046502010-02-03T10:35:41.720+01:002010-02-03T10:35:41.720+01:00I've just put up a couple of links on my blog ...I've just put up a couple of links on my blog which appeared in today's Telegraph ...<br /><br />Louise xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-2845898874358377172010-02-03T09:41:56.903+01:002010-02-03T09:41:56.903+01:00There is the problem, isn't it?

Your Father is in a world without worries or cares, and your poor Mum is having to cope with this horrendous situation and is stuck - it must be terrible for her.<br />It seems there is a 'push it under the carpet' attitude to Alzheimers which could affect any one of us, like cancer, but it won't go away because we don't talk about it - indeed the problem is getting worse ever year as the Baby Boomers slip into senility...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-23887092892722633622010-02-02T22:27:20.314+01:002010-02-02T22:27:20.314+01:00It's a huge issue that governments are avoidin...It's a huge issue that governments are avoiding here. They just hide behind 'sanctity of life', 'human rights' and other bollocks that seem to apply one-way to gonner Alzheimer zombies rather than compos mentis carers. Where are their human rights?<br /><br />Read the Alzheimer's Society to see how nauseating their attitude is. "If your (dotty) spouse gets violent, try removing yourself from the room and find out why s/he gets like that". Bollocks. If s/he gets violent, call the police and have him/her carted off to a cell like you would a mugger, or any other loony.<br /><br />Oh, but that might cost local authorities a penny or two, so better send him/her home until real damage is done. It's like the way they deal with dangerous road bends. Wait until a serious accident and then, grudgingly, spend some money to fix it.<br /><br />It makes me vomit.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-46564477282600417302010-02-02T18:55:46.054+01:002010-02-02T18:55:46.054+01:00How sad.

The reverse was the story with my grandparents; my grandfather looked after my grandmother who had Parkinson's - eventually my grandfather took his own life. Perhaps the governments that keep people alive should look after them in order to keep their partners alive.Working Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16243697047355131343noreply@blogger.com
