Oh that's tough @Snowie - do you feel like you automatically need to take up the mantle?
Oh gladness, I hope they are both lucrative appts that meet your current needs 🤞😊

Sending you lots of hugs my @Snowie ❤️ sitting with you
I think breaking it down into sections of what need to be done now step by step
Like becoming her Epoa
I know it is very hard not to think too far ahead

@Jynx my mother lives with us as it is. She has her own granny flat linked to our house, so I guess it is just a given that I will be the one to care for her. She has no one else.
Thanks @Shaz51 It is hard not to think too far ahead, but I do think we just have to take it day by day.
Just finding tonight a bit hard, don't think I have any tears left. Really should stop reading things.

I really hope in all of this you are still able to continue with what your family needs to do @Snowie especially having your snow holiday this year. Creating family time will be important hon.
Lots of love 💜💜💜

That's hard @Snowie to have it become you by default. I hope a balance can be found in terms of ensuring her needs are being met, whilst also ensuring you can continue to meet your own needs 🤞

Thanks @Shaz51
Will certainly pick your brain.
I'm sorry to hear about Mr Shaz. What does that mean moving forward?
@Jynx I guess no point complaining over something you can't change. It has already started in some ways, I have been going to every medical appt. with her for awhile now.
Hopefully I can find a balance when it is needed.
