I’ve never done this before so apologies if it’s boring. For the record, I’m not a mum, I’m a son. I’m’ not a weirdo or anything wishing to join female sites but I’ve come to realise from research “Blokey support” is not quite there yet.
Lost my dad in 2019 to the big “C”, mum and dad been married since 1963. Loved each other to bits and he passed away in her care at home.
Needless to say, she went from travelling at 100mph to hitting a brick wall.
she really suffered (still does) as the support fell away during to lockdown.
Ended up having to give up work before I was “asked to leave” due to the amount of time I had to respond to family crisis at short notice in order to be with her and help.
she has asked me on countless occasions to “help her” so she can be with dad.
I feel so guilty that I can’t, and feel that if I’d had the balls to, her current suffering would be over and she would be at peace.
Life feels pretty shit and lonely at the moment.
Not exactly the “Blokey thing” to do posting this on here, but I’m sick of this “Man up” crap.
Anyhow, it’s Smirnoff painkiller time.
Sorry if I seem to be a “wuss” but it is what it is.
I’d like some help, and this seems a good place to find it.
i’d like to think that once I’ve got through this I’ll be there to help others.
For those who’ve managed to read my full whinge it is much appreciated.
To all on this community, take care and don’t be afraid to talk.
