i got rid of all the ALS equipment the day after mum died. I wanted to forget ALS and just remember mum. The nurses were good and came for it the day after her funeral. We had the inter-floor lift pulled out the following wednesday. the house was so quiet; no one expected, no caregivers to come...
Thank you again for your reply - and I get what you're saying. I am just having such a hard time 'switching off'. I do think that I am struggling to find the relevance or importance of my work and think perhaps it is time for a change - that could be a big part of the problem, really. I am...

hello vickim... i think i will go and speak to my doctor about getting some antidepressants and sedatives if i am to endure this next part, these next months. i feel she is done with life. it holds nothing else for her. i always knew she was terminally ill, but i never thought of her being dead...
