A deeper bereavement

Thank you for your understanding and for posting this Maw I am living that bereavement. Sincerest wishes to everyone else and to those of you bereaved in any way at Christmas, it will be so different and difficult for you.

Living bereavement is truly horrible. This is the first Christmas without my lovely Mum visiting. She is now in a nursing home and totally immobile due to also suffering a major stroke. She has almost become a ghost of the strong, independent, happy lady that she once was. It's heart breaking, literally watching her slowly mentally slip away.
My thoughts are with you and agree that ambiguous grief should never be under estimated and is a living nightmare for all the family.
Wishing all those families touched by this awful disease that is Dementia peace and hope for 2018.

Maw, you and Annie have been so brave. I hope that you are spending time at Christmas with your family, and that they will cherish you. I have not listened to the programme,( busy chasing cobwebs), but do know of a neighbour who is slowly losing his wife. {{{hugs}}} to you and all who are living through this sad time.

True Maw, I lost my darling daughter twice.
