Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 What would I do without your support???? Thank you so much for the wonderful posts - I can face next week knowing that thousands of miles away my dearest friends are supporting me and understanding my sadness. I call it 'living with ghosts' - time travel! It's like walking back in time because apart from the physical presence of my parents, everything is as it was. It is very unsettling. Martha, Sandie - you are so right. Having lost both parents changes life dramatically. It is difficult to adjust to this new role. When I reflect on the loss of my mum and dad I feel life has been especially hard on me! That is no way self pity either!!!! Just a statement of fact. Within 2 years - almost to the day - my life was turned upside down. So, I feel it is perfectly acceptable for me to feel as I do from time to time. I give myself permission to feel blue some days, and irritable and emotional. I can cry if I want to!!! And I do believe that one of the saving graces of this incredible group is that we allow each other to say, speak, vent, yell, curse, rant and rage about this monster that has torn our worlds apart. It seems to me that LBD is one of those diseases that UNLESS YOU HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH IT you have no way of truly understanding how destructive, deceptive and deadly it is. This disease sets out to slowly destruct the brains of our loved ones whilst at the same time seeking to make us the carers appear complete and total idiots who lie about the symptoms! It's a wicked twister! I shall never be able to thank you guys enough for what you do for me. We will stay strong. Love to all Sally xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
