Not looking for advice - just need to share my sadness that my Dad is losing his voice so quickly, and I am sad that I can’t see him at the moment, and when I do see him again he won’t be able to make his voice heard.
I’m trying to reassure myself that as long as he is safe and the carers keep turning up then all is well (of course that is the most important ) - but I used to pop in 3 times a week and haven’t seen him to talk to for almost 3 weeks now I miss him
Take care everyone xx

Yeah it's just hard. We are required to keep letting go of our loved ones, with every development of their condition. And now the need to leave them in the hands of others.
I normally visit Dad 2 days a week, but thankfully the carers are helping with video calls. I've snuck in a couple of times to say hi when I've brought his shopping round. But don't know if I should really.
I think I've got used to Dad not speaking - it's exciting when he does manage a bit. I'm realising how precious each smile is that we have had from him. He's a legend.
Try and get the home to FaceTime you or maybe send u a video I know a few homes are doing this my dad is in end of life care now so luckily my mum can still see him it’s hard when there voice goes hopefully this will be gone and we can get back to our family members
