Update on what is going with my father

Mar 23, 2013 09:07

I haven't posted here much about what is going on because it's been a very tough few months here with my father. He just turned 80 on March 8 and is near later stage Alzheimer's. He took a pretty bad downward turn over Christmas, to point we could no longer leave him alone and it's been a steady decline since. My brother and I have re-arranged ( Read more... )

You and your family are amazing. I will be praying for your dad and you all.

Also, I don;t think that you are being selfish at all. No one would want to live like this. I have a living will for this very reason.

*hugs you tight*

Daddy didn't believe in those things so it's all such a mess, but things will work out one way or another. We'll deal with it.

It's not just your father Pud. Both my parents aren't in the pink of health and my mum is 70. I can't even bring up topics like this without them getting all upset. :/

I'm sending all the good vibes to you. *HUGS*

I'm so sorry that things are so difficult for you. I can't even imagine what you've been going through. I'll be thinking of you, and hoping that everything will turn out for the best, whatever that means. *Hugs*

You know that I'm here for anything you need. And you are absolutely not being selfish; a person can only function under so much pressure. You've done so much for Daddy. You've given him a great quality of life, and he couldn't ask for a better daughter. <333

I'm so sorry, hon. It's hard being a caregiver, and it's not selfish to need a little space. Otherwise, you'll have nothing left to give.

If ever you need to talk, I'm here.

You're not selfish. You dedicated your young life to your Father, caring for him and assisting him in ways I can't even imagine a persone could do without going insane or suffer.

You are a person to admire and respect. I am close to you during this difficult time and I'm in awe at how you're handling it.

Please know I'm always willing and ready to help you, even if only with listening.

You're not selfish, I don't allow you to think this about yourself.
