Zaf's Thoughts and Fears

I am always here for you.

X x

I really do despair, the damned NHS and social services have yet again let a member of my close family down. My mother in law was discharged from hospital late last night, her leg ulcers were weeping badly, the ambulance crew put her to bed fully clothed, it appears the hospital neglected to give her her insulin injection, the 'care' that was supposed to go in first thing to give her breakfast and get her up was 2 hours late and when the district nurse eventually got there her blood sugar was down to 3 (it should be 12) and she was rushed back into hospital.

What is the matter with this country and the people that are supposed to help us when we are ill? This is no way to treat an elderly ill lady, I dread the time I might need help and I would seriously consider suicide rather than be subject to the shameful and cruel we treat our elderly these days

Eugh, IBS attack this morning

What would the deceased have wanted?

Is there any other requests the deceased made before hand?

I had to go through this when my grams died. But simply being alive is a blessing of its own. And living your life is probably what the deceased would have wanted you to do as well. It doesn't feel right, maybe even guilty about it. But don't forget what they taught you/learned from them & it'll seem as though they have never left.(through words that come to mind or feelings when a phrase they used to speak of is used).

You are only human & its okay to be lost for a while. I hope i was able to help
