may god bless him and you and give you both the strength you need to get through this. i do believe in the power of prayer dear. i will pray for you. when i tell someone i will pray for them i do it immediately as i know i have done it and kept my promise as there are so many people who, like myself want and need prayers. but i like to mention each individual person at first then later when i pray i pray for everyone. god bless you both. love grace xoxoxo

its very hard to deal with when a loved has has passed away especially our mothers david. they are about the most important people in our lives as they gave birth to us and looked after us all those years. even although its painful for you i still think its nice that you care for your mother. i lost my mother 5 years ago and i was so upset at the funeral but my sister who had fallen out with my mum, when she saw me crying she said i'v done all my crying, i was so upset as mums dead now why cant she forgive any rows that they had, the strange thing is when my mum was alive my sister was so good to her and did everything to help her, so i just think that deep down she loves my mother but protects herself with this hard front,so things are never as they seem are they? as i think my sister is crying inside, but who knows because my family never talk to me i only have one brother and one sister and they are close but not with me as i was brought up in care. that does hurt me but i protect myself by telling myself i dont like them either. but i do love my sister.what a screw up my family is 😂 and im probably crying not laughing,

Hi. Grace its a shame your family cant take the time to get to know. The real you just because you were brought up in care i would have thought they would go out of there way.to make up for the lost time you had !have you tried to asking her why shes got such anger towards to your mum as you said they seemed to be close when she was here! Believe me your family arent the only screw up theres plenty out there ! God bless you my friend david x

Celtic27 try counselling if it doesnt work thats fine. Im not very open but i found counselling enabled me to grieve properly - emotinally i was completely closed in beforehand.

We talked about everything which helps build up the relationship. You can get this free through relate - i used an employee support programme otherwise its around £50 per session.

Good luck

Hi, thinking and praying for you both, my husband was in and out of hospital earlier on this year with encephalopathy and other health issues I honestly thought he wouldn't make it ....but he has and each day there is some improvement. He is on a strict diet no salt , red meat , plenty water , he continues to take lactulose and rifaximin . Stay strong xxx
