Her Interests & needs: Remember those..whatever they may be ... including care!

She was still very tired .. but I had two good visits .. and we discussed and mulled the religious aspects .. and she agreed that God is wherever Mum wants him to be .. and that perhaps it was best to leave it that way .. as she’d been absolutely exhausted by it all: she agreed & said ‘we could sweep the idea under the carpet’!!
Fortunately she was happier in her self and I told her I’d cancelled my week’s break and so would be around for her .. she was extremely grateful & again hugely relieved. She knows I’m extremely tired and is really concerned for me .. as a mother would be, but reassured that I’m ok .. & coping.
I must now follow the RC thing through, with the change of heart .. and update the clergy as well as my family. However .. I’ve instigated a meeting with the palliative care doctors as they said they’d come back & talk to Mum, and haven’t – because they’re cancer & pain palliative care specialists (& we don’t fall into that category) – but I feel after a year in Eastbourne, we need some guidance – as surely ‘brain agitation’ counts as pain?
