Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Dear group, I was talking to my Auntie Betty on the telephone last night. Her husband, Barry, is dying of Lewy Body Disease. He has had Parkinson's for several years and has latterly developed LBD alongside. He is in his early 70's. He is my dad's uncle - it's a long story but my dad's dad was one of many siblings that spanned generations in time! Consequently my dad was only a 5 years older than his uncle!! She cares for him on her own with very little help. They still live in the village where my dad was born ... 180 miles from me. Although my auntie is reassured by our chats she keeps saying how she would love to talk to 'people her age, in her circumstances' who are part of this group. Sadly she doesn't have a computer or access to one. I pass on to her stuff I print off here but obviously I can't be in the caring spouses group. Do you thinka couple of you could drop her a line? Just a card or a note so she doesn't feel so alone? I tell her all about the group but she can't relate to it really - it's like trying to describe the taste of chocolate to someone who never ate it! Her address is; Mrs Betty Cashmore 17 Harvest Grove Moira Swadlincote Derbyshire DE12 6EH UK She's a devout Christian and would just feel so uplifted to hear that she was in someone's prayers. Thank you Sally xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Sally- I shall pray for your Auntie and Uncle, every night, and each time I think of them during my day.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 OK, Simmel, I'm afraid you've got me stumped. Do you mean all the ranting I've been doing lately or my asking Sally if its ok to send a card? If you mean the ranting, then I guess you could say yes, I'm not being my usual self - rants and raves but eventually is gonna get up regardless of the situation. I suppose I'm just plain tired. Almost two years ago things were really quite in my life then everything started to happen at once. It takes a lot of energy to fix what I can and let go of what I can't especially since I can't tell the difference all the time. Life doesn't seem like its going to calm down any time soon either. I'd like life to slow down a bit so that I can digest a thing properly before being hurled into yet another.
