Minnie---when my mum was dying, she was terrified that dad--disabled and in wheelchair would NEVER be able to cope on his own. She was SO worried about him, she was his carer
He was amazing--got funeral all arranged and later began his 'own life'
He adapted his wheelchair to make shelf he could put food/cups of tea on, he used his mobility scooter to get to Supermarket and buy his own favourite stuff, he loved and appreciated his 'morning carer' who took care of his hygiene/dressing needs, he could use the washing machine! And he did this for 3 years from age 82--85! I only had to 'care' for 5 days out of each week til the last 6 months--he was amazing and mum must have been sitting playing her harp, scratching her head, cursing a bit that he could do it NOW, but still really proud of him!
So your family will cope just fine whilst you're in treatment and will probably be glad and proud to prove they can!
So save your strength for the treatment and healing Minnie--they love and value you and they---and all us---want you to take your time for YOU right now. love and hugs, Brenda xx
Helen, Tuesday was also YOUR big day and you're very quiet????????
