Hi Everyone, Ive have tried to create this post all week. Myself and my husband are struggling , we got some difficult sad news on monday. My mother in law has now been living with us for 9 years, she had been diagnosed with Dementia just after she was widowed and came to live with us, my husband is her eldest of 4 boys . This came with its challenges over the years and she is now stage 6 vascular dementia. We have had to dig deep and be strong many a time in our marriage . On Monday after mum in law being unwell for about 4 weeks , devastating news came that she has stage 4b ovarian Cancer , metastasis in liver, lung, pancreas and bowel . We have been informed life expectancy is likely to be in weeks rather than months, recommended we cancel Christmas holiday we have booked for the 3 of us💔. Palliative care team are coming to our house tomorrow. Please pray for us, we need strength for us , comfort and peace for our special wee Scottish mammy.😭💔 thank you .

although i don’t know what’s it’s like to live with someone who has cancer i do know what it’s like to care for someone with dementia. my mother had it for the last 7 years of her life and my brother, sister and i took care of her for the most part. the last few years of her life we had her in a assisted living care facility. it became too much on us both physically and mentally to take care of her. we just couldn’t do it anymore. we loved and supported her the entire time and visited her often and were there everyday of the last 2 weeks of her life. i hope this doesn’t sound terrible but we were relieved when she passed. she’s not suffering anymore. i know what you’re going through and my thoughts are with you
