I think that's the most important thing when caring and struggling :)Amanda Eganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03107950894507528876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441051266378305651.post-24251344006057663632013-11-06T17:22:45.847+00:002013-11-06T17:22:45.847+00:00I commented on my ipad but it flew into cyberspace...I commented on my ipad but it flew into cyberspace. I didn't care on a 24/7 basis as you are doing but I know how it can take over your life. I went to my mother in laws every day,it took me longer to do her shopping than my own.She complained about everything I bought,honestly sometimes I just walked in put the shopping in fridge and went away because I really could not deal with her complaining. She phoned us constantly,a bulb went,she couldn't get tv working etc and when hubby went down she had climbed on chair to fix bulb. My nerves wre shattered. All she wanted was her son to do what I was doing but he was working and couldn't.<br />I couldn't care the same for my own mum as she lived to far from me but it would probably have been similar. The only thing I can say to help you is you will one day look back and say,I'm so glad I did that"<br />Take any help that's offered to you and like Jo said find a carers support group there may be more help out there than you know about.Anne Macklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635857544175826537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441051266378305651.post-14456486691775457482013-11-06T12:04:33.573+00:002013-11-06T12:04:33.573+00:00One day, one minute sometimes, at a time.

Only saints manage all this without grumbling (I don't know any saints, only real people). Just wondering - is there are 'carers' organisation' of some sort near you? You've probably been in touch with this lot http://www.carersuk.org/ already, but they are reputed to be helpful, even if it's just listening on the phone.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127111575563904349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441051266378305651.post-18081617371405993362013-11-06T10:03:16.641+00:002013-11-06T10:03:16.641+00:00Good on Your Ms Egan Sometime ya just gotta do ...Good on Your Ms Egan Sometime ya just gotta do what you gotta do with 100% of your being..
