Hi Min sorry I cant help about bank accounts but when Jeffs dad died we were amazed at how many phone calls , forms and visits it took just to get his mums life back on track In Olives case she is a very lively 82 but she would have found it too hard As you said about not being able to motivate yourself was exactly how she felt too On a spooky…[Read more]

Hi Sandra I would say its worth asking about your pillow Bridget

Hi Min Peters service sounds lovely I think to celebrate someones life is so important We lost my lovely father-in-law recently and the service was very similiar , even down to telling everyone how the grandchildren called him grumpy grand-dad! The last song was chosen by him and up until it started playing everyone was sobbing But the moment we…[Read more]

Hi Sylvia sorry to hear you had a down spell but very glad to hear you are feeling more positive .

Dear Gina your poor mum must be longing to get rid of whatever is making her feel so dreadful . I am surprised they have not admitted her , or would she not want that. It soeems a long time to have to wait 2 weeks before you see the consultant I think if I were in your shoes I would get hold of the specialist nurse and ask all the questions that…[Read more]

Hi Eve regarding the results following treatment as in Slims case and doctors wanting to wait until the end before doing bone marrow or is it a scan they are going to do? Often the results from these drugs take time to settle so rather than testing several times they prefer to give it time to level out As it is only a few weeks its unlikely to do…[Read more]

Dear Sarah it really doesnt seem fair for you to go through so much I think I understand what you mean when you say your father gave up on hearing of Gordon passing ,when I was first diagnosed and very ill my lovely strong mum changed into a frail old lady instantly Its like she wont put any energy into caring for herself instead she frets over…[Read more]
