I've just read all your posts (I can empathise having lost my Mum to Alzheimer's in 2012 and although she was in a nursing home for the last few years of her life I was definitely her main carer.) You illustrate so well the ups and downs of being a carer. I hope that doing it has helped with your grieving process.

Also it will provide that supportive backstory to your love and care you had for your mother in her last journey. Good for you ... and I'm glad the postings helped with your healing timeframe ... <br /><br />Interesting isn't it - how things pan out .. I bet you're glad to be back in Denmark .. though I feel sorry for you and your loss - but you really did your absolutely utmost - and that will stand you in so much stead for the future .. <br /><br />Cheers - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509673636575711646.post-70445390137223071932015-05-10T19:39:22.727+02:002015-05-10T19:39:22.727+02:00Oh my gosh, hilarious!

I understand that the overall ethos with the A to Z should be the interaction and the proactive responses.

Caring for carers is almost forgotten during any sickness in a household. They suffer just as much as the patient (albeit differently) and need some 'care' too.

She was quite young when finally diagnosed...early 50's. I'm glad you got to spend time with your Mother. I wrote alphabetical posts about my mother, not part of A-Z, was before I knew about it. I found writing to be very cathartic. I tried to write about better times, fun stories and memories, though I did get hung on a few letters, never quite finished; but writing off and on about her, helped my grieving process. <br /><br />Sorry our paths didn't cross this year in the challenge as it did last year. I used a different blog in the challenge this year, and am in fact shutting down the other one, never used it much after the challenge. In the process am re-visiting everyone I had on the blog log to check in, so many other blogs are also gone. Leaving you the link to the blog I used this year. Take Care and keep your Mom close in your heart.<br /><br /><a href="http://homelessbridge.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-z-reflections-post.html" rel="nofollow">Sandy at Bridge and Beyond</a>Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509673636575711646.post-80380335944228075472015-05-02T12:58:25.633+02:002015-05-02T12:58:25.633+02:00Worrying is a part of a mother's job descripti...Worrying is a part of a mother's job description!!
