Just returned to the conversation... caught up! I think one of the hardest things is that she isn’t selfish in so many ways... she’s always trying to buy me something to make my life easier and in the past, when they still could, both my parents would help us out with their time and skills... putting up shelves, looking after the children, gardening etc. I think it must be easier to cope with if you can’t find anything to like in your parents! I have been so lucky with mine ... I think Covid has meant her life has become very much less interesting and, at 85, she is aware the time she has left is limited...so am I! I have so much sympathy for her but there have been days when her negativity has pushed me into feeling that I can’t cope anymore! It was helpful to say do out loud to everyone here- I have a friend I can also say this kind of thing to but she is struggling a bit at the moment and I didn’t want to add to her load right now.
I m feeling more upbeat at the moment ( just been able to book our vaccines!) and hopefully it won’t be long before I can see her in person and that will cheer her up.
