@monicakm, Sending prayers for you and your family. I'm sorry for all you are going through. While you are taking care of others don't forget to look out for yourself.

I feel like they are ready, so I am ready but I will probably do what I did with my brother. The peace of knowing where he is will sustain me for a couple of months and then it will hit me that our family will never (on this earth) enjoy his wit and kindness again. We won't watch him make a pig of himself at Thanksgiving and no one will ever kiss me on the top of the head again. I was glad to see him be rid of the terrible pain and agony of cancer.

My dad is doing better today. Mom is still angry but not combative today. I'm fine but I feel sorry for them having to remain here and be in such a confused state and not having enough strength to move. This is no way to spend one's final days

I feel like I'm handling mom's anger towards me as good as anyone could. I know it's not her. I know she is so very kind and would be totally humiliated if she knew how she was acting. It's not her so I can't be mad. Sad but not mad. I feel sorry for both of them. I hope they aren't feeling the misery I see in their eyes.

I had to stay home today. I don't know what I can/should be handling as far as emotional stress and frankly keep forgetting what I just experienced I think I'll call my Dr on Monday. This heart issue is plumming so I'm not sure that getting emotional and afraid would have any bearing on my heart issue. What do you think? I'll call my daughter and ask her. She still knows everything (g) Wait till she gets old enough to realize that really doesn't (g)

I totally understand how you feel. I have a loved one with dementia, who

also lost a child.

I could not care for this family member long term. It breaks my heart.

@monicakm

Did you have a stint when you were in the hospital? I would definitely call your MD Monday. Stress can have an effect on your heart functioning and since this is a high stress situation you want to minimize the effect on your heart muscle BP&HR. Make sure you tell him/her everything you have shared here so that he/she can come up with an effective stress management plan for you. Elevated values that come with stress can put you at risk. Please do call.
