Still here...

...himself and I.


Where do I start? His health is deteriorating day by day. We have had a hectic time of late with him being rushed to hospital, staying there for a week and then coming home frailer than ever. It has been a crazy rollercoaster ride since then with his health, so I am ensconced in all that entails at present.


I am processing it all and have so many thoughts and observations but my energy is being sapped even more than usual by caring for him at this time of his life. I have upped his carer's visits so that has been helpful but ultimately I am the one with the responsibility for him so the enormity of it all is on my shoulders.


'Twas the same for my Mum but the emotions and thoughts differ greatly.


Yes, I probably do need to let it all out. And this blog is a helpful release for me as you know but I am so tired and want to try and process it all before trying to send it into the ether via this blog. I feel that is where the healing starts, with the process.


Hope your day goes well.
