Bill

[Kathie48]

Sadly Bill lost his fight with CBD yesterday. He held my hand and slowly his breathing got more and more shallow. I still love him and will miss him for the rest of my life.

I'm so sorry Kathie, I hope it is comforting for you to know he departed peacefully and is now free from this horrible condition. I hope you have friends and family around to support you. Give yourself time to grieve in a way you find best. I hope it won't be too long before you can forget the horrors of the last few years and remember the good times you had together.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Kathie.

How are you And colin Bev . . It's a dreadful morning here , looks a lot like we might see some snow ,

One of our regular morning carers told me this morning that she will be leaving , had found a job nearer home .

I will miss her hughely one of the best kind and cares from the time she arrives until she leaves , I have become quite find find of her . Hard to replace .

The care company is appalling . I have stuck with them because of having the two same girls mainly in the morning that suit us and still waiting result of CHC ,

I am going to e mail the social worker this morning and tell her how unhappy we are with this company but afraid at the same time that it won't be any better elsewhere . although it couldn't be a lot worse ,

I wouldn't be surprised if the company lost the whole of our area , they deserve to .

The sun is shining at the moment but going by other days, I don't think it will last. I've got to do some housework today ugh! My brother and his wife are staying here until Saturday so had better push the vacuum cleaner around. The bed is made and towels folded on the bed, bathroom clean but floor is dusty. If you have carpets the dust sticks in but wooden floors everywhere, the tumble weeds blow across the room when the doors are opened.

Our carers, for the most part, are lovely, kind and considerate. It's the administration that's bad. Last night the expected carer was sick but I wasn't told and another arrived. At least I got someone but I hate not knowing who it's going to be. She said she won't be here tonight even if she is needed so I hope the usual one is well enough to return. A silly thing that makes a difference is where I park my car. We have a sloping drive that some won't park on but as several of our neighbours gave 4 cars and the road is narrow, if I know who is coming I will move my car to one side of the drive so they can park beside mine. I had parked in the middle of the drive expecting the carer who comes by bus so moved it at 10 pm. Nothing major but just another aggravation.

I can't believe the CHC still hasn't been approved. If it is, I hope they give back pay.

Better go, the vacuum cleaner beckons.

Hope your day is OK.

I am hopeful out later sitter coming . Will reply proper later

[cabbagecottage in reply to NannaB]

Yes you can see the dust on the wooden floors , where does it come from .

Thise things are not silly. When they go wrong they become the big problems. I find get the little things done they rest you cope with . .

We have a few excellent carers who are thorough from the time they arrive until they leave but at night they wizz through to get home earlier . It's so important to have continuity ....bsomething we have never had except for the two in the morning .

The administration is dreadful though . I appears that goes for most companies .

My brother and his wife always came regularly but I find having visitors get on top of me now , even though they are very kind and considerate. Our lifestyle isn't normal now as hard as I might try to keep it that way .

John worries about toileting and he cannot cope with conversation or chatter ..

[cabbagecottage]

Kathie my heart goes out to you , it must be a mix of so many different emotions for you .

I hope you can take some comfort from knowing that have been there to support Bill through such an awful illness and that he knew how very hard it was for you as for himself .

Take time for your grief and look after yourself now .. It is what he would want . Hugs xx

[Patriciapmr]

I'm so sorry Kathie and I'm thinking of you and you family at this sad time, take good care of yourself now and always remember you did your best for Bill and that's something to be proud of for the rest of your life....

Love and hugs....Pat xx

Oh Kathie, I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure you are comforted by the fact that Bill had a peaceful end and is finally free from this evil disease. Now it's time to put all those caring skills, you have learnt over the last few years, into looking after yourself! This is the one battle with CBD, that you must NOT lose! Take your time in grieving, there is only one way and that's YOUR way. Don't let others tell you different!

We are still here for you, if you need to talk.

One day at a time!

Lots of love

Heady

[Doglinton]

So sorry to hear that, although there is some relief that it is over for Bill.

It will be hard adjusting to life without Bill, I know. We are still here for you.

Take your time grieving.

Love and hugs from Jean x

DearKathie,

I have not communicated with you as I am new to this posting thing, and I am trying to find my way.

However, my husband has CBD and I know what your Bill and you endured. I want to send my sincere sympathy and if possible, up the road, please share with me. This is such a lonely journey. I am in NYC.

God Bless,

[Robbo1]

Dear Kathy, of course you will. Love doesn't die, when a loved one dies, because the one we loved, is a part of who we are.

I do hope that you can take comfort from the fact that he slipped peacefully away, with the one he loved, you, at his side. Take care, God bless. Rx

[cabbagecottage in reply to Robbo1]

Robbo , that's a good way to describe it . " Part of you , us . ".

I'm so sorry Kathie. My thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time. I hope you can be comforted to some degree by the fact that you were there beside him to the end.

With love

Dear Kathie, I am so very sorry. I'm wishing you the comfort of good memories, and of knowing how well you took care of your man. He had you, and in that one great thing at least, he was fortunate. Thinking of you and sending you love, Easterncedar
