Hi :)

Yes I can understand that.
For me it was the speed that it all happened. Although for Mum, the speed was a blessing I think.

I only have a small family, and it's really devastated us.

Very sorry.

My mom started having seizures when I was about 5 maybe 6 years old...around 1992... They found 3 brain tumors. She was forced to leave her job sometime back in the 90's after falling down a marble stair case during a tornado warning...the elevators were out of service...She fell because she went into a grand mal seizure. From there it's been RA, heart attack, COPD from smoking, and so on...there's more but I think everyone gets the idea. So it has been a slow, worrisome decline... I absolutely dread the day that I get up in the morning and she's not around. I think it is really going to hit hard even though back in 1992 the doctors said she had maybe 6 months to a year to live. Every day is a gift and I need to treat it as such and sometimes that is hard to do with all the things that go on in a day... I just feel like I letting her and myself down because I just don't seem to get it in gear some days...but I love her very much and I just wish that she could get out and do more but any more she has limited mobility.

Anyway, sorry to dump this on your introductory thread... but I am certainly here for anyone who's going through this sort of thing, it's can be a very dark place.
