The Fast Turnaround, Dizzy one day, Deathly the next
AH. <sigh> I had three good days - i could tell I was elevated, but didn't think I was hypo-manic. If the C-r-a-s-h today is any indication I was more elevated than I thought.
I seem never to have 'normal' - I am rarely sparkly. spinning, happy and full of chatter and life I get a few days of it and feel great - then nasty irritable sets in, then down down down going down Floor 5 - Ladies gloves, scarves and apparell. down

@BlueBay, thank you - the 'process' part of this, taking her clothes in and packing up the house etc, is partially done. It nearly did me in Thursday week ago when I had to pack up clothes (and put labels in everything that took SO much time) I ruined one of her white blouses with lace cos the iron was on hottest dry setting and as I put the label in... It caught the lace and it all melted. OH no. I didn;t tell her though. I know so many of us go through this, everyone really still connected with aged parents, at some stage has to do the house divestment etc. Thanks for your support, this thread has been an absolute lifesaver for me. truly.

@Faith-and-Hope, ahhh, you have been through the hardest time with your Mum too. Love to you. It is amazing how some things work out re the European Summer holidays and time to be with her uninterrupted. Glad for you that you could.

For my mum
"Oh Mum"
I hesitated at her door
Gently the words escaped from me
This was our final scene
her widowed huge man-sized hand
lay weightless:
thumb. fingers softly shrunken, cradled in mine
Silent and staring
I could not be sure
She knew I was there.
Hi @MoonGal thinking of you too.

@Appleblossom, a beautiful moment of capturing the sadness and grief of end of life with your Mum. Made me cry. Thank you so much for sharing from your heart.
