Re: Not sure what to do !!!

@Former-Member

lots of thinking at the moment my friend , you are thinking a lot too , i can imagine, sending you daily hugs and sitting with you daily

1) the rest of the house is nearly all good -- having showers has slowed down the work which does not matter , climax the other day seeing it being torn away -- lot os tears -- but not now

2) i am the money saver in the family --- mr shaz is totally worried about what is going to happen when my mum goes , there goes mum`s pension and my carers pension --- like your situation my friend xoxo

3) about this Covid vac happening -- with me having diabetes and kidney disease -- wondering when to ge it or not , going to ring doctor tomorrow about it

4) mum`s health with physical problems and dementia and now her arm is soo sore nearly all the time

sorry for going on , you have soo much on your plate like we all have here

also sending hugs to @outlander , @Appleblossom , @Bunniekins , @Eve7 , @Emelia8 , @Owlunar , @Faith-and-Hope , @Adge , @Smc , @eth , @BlueBay

i know i havee missed a lot of names, going to come around and say hello to everyone xxx

No need to apologise @Shaz51 we are here to support each other.

As you are no doubt aware, having a plan in place for the future is necessary. Having to do it alone or with little help whilst dealing with grief and loss is hard. I am grateful for the training resources offered through the Carer Gateway which I will likely utilise when the time comes.

Have to have a look at carers gateway @Former-Member

Mr shaz has lots of ideas for the future but I kind of like having a flexible plan

In response to: Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Plan needs to be flexible @Shaz51 as we know life gets in the way ....

In response to: Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

However @Shaz51 , saying "what do we need to do to achieve one or more of these ideas and what work are you/we prepared to do towards it as well as asking "What are we prepared to limit other spending on to make the dream possible?"
