Hi Teresa
It never ceases to amaze me how many carers cope for years,on there own,not just people who are away from their family,people who just seem to manage on there own.

I am not one of them,I found this forum last year and must admit if I have any doubt or do not feel things are going the way they should,I tend to come on here and gets…[Read more]

Hi Jean

So sorry to hear your news,even if it is expected,you still feel the blow.

You have your faith Jean,this must give you some comfort,I hope the…[Read more]
