Happy New Year

[Lucy602]

Wishing you all a Happy New Year. Please remember to make yourself a priority and take care of yourselves. It's one of the most important things we can do for the ones we care for. I hope you all stay healthy and make good memories with your family. Love and hugs to you all.

Amen to that! Now how do I do that....

By accepting you can't do everything. Get as much help as possible. Go out into the world, at every possible moment you can. Realise that you exist as well as your loved one, look after your own needs just as well as you do for him. Get plenty of regular exercise, if only a short walk. Eat well, don't skip meals, because you are only cooking for one and can't be bothered. Make time for yourself, even if that means putting your loved one to bed half an hour earlier.

Accept you are not perfect. You will get things wrong on a daily basis, you will lose your temper and shout and scream.

Most of all, realise that you are doing an amazing job, your loved one is totally reliant on you and you ARE making sure he wants for nothing.

Lots of love

Heady

Hi Heady, thanks for the advise I certainly need reminding that I exist. I hope you are coping with all of the arrangements and paperwork that must be involved. I hate paperwork and it's the last thing you need to be doing at such a difficult time. I'm guessing the funeral must be soon so sending my love and support to you to help you get through. Take care Heady

Love Kate xxx
