You have expressed yourself perfectly, and I'm so happy you felt compelled to reach out. Of course it is with great sadness to hear of your own struggle caring for your beloved Father, but you have given me comfort knowing I'm not alone with coming to terms with the reality of a very traumatic period in my life.<br /><br />Thank you for your kindness in regards my crochet work, and for showing support in my new venture. I would like to extend my best wishes to you for the new year ahead.

Knowing they won't get better is so dreadfully hard. It's not just the emotional toll on the carer, but the enormous physical toll that is inflicted on the body too.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience with me. Crochet is definitely a welcome distraction when things become overwhelming. I am fortunate to be in a position now where I can explore this new adventure without anxiety, but I am always mindful that life is restricted in many ways for all those who are caring for a loved one. <br /><br />Can I extend my very best wishes to you and your husband. I'm sure you are doing a wonderful job in supporting your husband to live the best possible life, whilst the burden of ill health is ever present. Please know you are very much in my thoughts.<br /><br />Sharron xSharronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18075331397480529810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800156321042111791.post-73462036285978003362017-12-16T21:55:08.133+00:002017-12-16T21:55:08.133+00:00I think this is a fabulous idea and wish you every...I think this is a fabulous idea and wish you every success in your new venture. I can so relate to a lot of what you say, I lost my mum very suddenly when I was 29 years old (never had the chance to say goodbye or talk of what my future would hold without her). I am now career for my husband, who has a progressive neurological disorder). crochet is my stress release, my happy place.....oh and I love reading your blog too!
