Sense of dread

[RoseMartha]

Has anyone had a sense of dread that their parent/s haven't got long left.

I seem to be watching them fail before my eyes, each time I call or see them they have deteriorated. I spoke to the day centre but they said they do not see significant changes.

The carers have not picked up on anything.

The dr said earlier in the year about 6-12 months with regard to multiple health issues. I dont know if I am overthinking this or they really are fading fast.

This weekend they seem really frail. I feel i am just waiting for that call or I go and visit and one has died.

Yes, I feel the same. How old are they? It's not easy

Late 80's.

I spoke to them earlier and came off the phone with uneasy feeling.

I do understand. I've had this uneasy feeling for about a year. I sometimes think it's just because of their age, rather than an indication that something is going to happen.

My mum in particular looks a grey colour.

We have just pushed for blood test from gp.

I do hope she's OK. My mum was constantly tired and continually falling asleep. Blood tests showed very low vitamin B12 and she's now having injections and feeling much brighter.

I hope your mum gets some good news from the blood tests

Thats good news for you.

Hopefully it will be something like that. It doesnt help they dont eat properly when not at the day centre. Although they think they do cook for themselves.

I am in the same situation, a kind of constant nagging dread. I've no advice but I am trying to make life as easy as possible for them and do as much as I can. Grateful to still have them at 58, dreading the loss of them.
