tash28 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 These last two days have been real tough. Im in hospital caring for someone who is dying. Today has been the toughest day.
Lindamomof7 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Hey Tash, hope you are ok. You are so strong for doing that. I would be a basket case. I'm sending some strength your way through the computer....
tash28 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Posted February 9, 2011 Thank you bothIts just very draining dont really know what else to write mind gone blank
IrmaJean Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Are you still in the hospital? Is there any support there for you? I imagine any care you can offer to your friend or loved one will bring them comfort. I'm sorry you're going through this.
tash28 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Posted February 10, 2011 I'm in and out of the hospital. It is a service user that I have cared for for many years. I am in and out of hospital depending on if I am needed to cover the home. Im working, seeing to the horses then any time left is up at the hospital caring for her. Im trying to support the family and the other service users as it will be very hard for them. Need to help my manager as she is looking very tired. This will be a very hard time for everyone so just need to hold it together for them and be there for them.

tash28 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Posted February 10, 2011 Thanks everyone its getting harder each day.
shanrucas Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 Hi, Tash, sorry I haven't been around much. Just now saw your post. I think the job you do is a very tough one and I admire you for doing it. I know that the caregivers involved in helping me care for my mom are very attached to both of us. One even moved down the street to be closer to us. The other one that took over on weekends but I had to lay her off due to finacial situation still comes by and volunteers a couple of hours to give me a break. I just don't now how I would survive without these people, they have become closer to me than family who never call or comes over.You have been very supportive to me cause you know exactly what I am going through..I thank you for being there. I am sure that your friends family appriciates you for being there. Hang in there.Shannon
tash28 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Posted February 11, 2011 Hi shannonThank you so much. This is a very tough time for everyone. They are like my second family I will do lots of extras for these guys just so they have a smile on their face and get the help they deserve. Everyone in our care home is the same everyone says that they think of it as their second home. This is a very hard time for us and I have to be there for our service users and her family. When alone I can have a good cry. Im just about to go into hospital now left work early as she is not doing to good so Im going in to see her and to give her sister and my manager a break. They will prob go get a coffee and something to eat while im there so she will not be alone.Thank you everyone for your support
tash28 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Posted February 12, 2011 Thank you all.She passed away first thing this morning.
shanrucas Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 Tash, I am so sorry. But you are so wonderful to give comfort to those in need of it. My hats off to you, you are truly a compassionate person, I know this through the support you have given me. Do not hold off your grief for this person you loved, I feel that grief has its purpose to work through the emotions that come with loosing a loved one. Be sure to take care of yourself,we are here to help you through it.Shannon
