Dear "Georgina", I am so sorry for your stressful & heartrending situation. I imagine James will take it all in his stride, which may now be fairly accepting of a limited world around him which he connects less & less with.

Beautifully written. So, so heartbreaking. You've absolutely done the right thing. I hope your James settles into life in the home soon. I had to do same for my parents.. now passed away.. and feels like I'm back at square one, as my mum's sister now has dementia.. No one has POA and I live closest.. After 3 times in A&E in last 8 months with low haemoglobin, and falls the home have placed her in a carehome which is a huge relief. I always enjoy reading your blogs and can't wait to read your next installment ❤️
