I sit reading with tears streaming down my face. The awful illness has taken a firm hold on my sweet, kind, beautiful Mum and transformed her into, at times someone I no longer recognise.

We all face this horror, the disease has robbed us. You are both often in my thoughts. I pray that James will settle and you find peace 🙏

This just broke my heart- for you, for James, for me and my husband, and for everyone dealing with this horrible disease. I’ve been thinking about you and James and wondering how it was going. I wish the easiest transition for both of you. Hugs ...

This is such a painful journey, but know that many are with you in the background sharing your experiences which are told with such honesty.

This made me really well up. Good luck to you both. These ‘lasts’ are very sad. The whole situation is sad, but it’s what’s needed for you both. Maybe you can sit with him and watch your tv series together in the home next week? Watching (mainly Calamity Jane) with mum in her room in the care home was one of the things that still felt ‘normal’ for a good while, and provided a connection to life before.

I’m sobbing over my morning coffee. Such a very sad situation after so many years together, but I totally understand your reasons for moving James. Good luck in your new phase of life x

Oh Georgina, what a beautiful, sad post. You have made such a hard decision and I hope that James settles and you will get the rest you deserve from you wonderful caring. I also hope you will be able to spend quality time with James. Nothing anyone can say will make up for what this awful disease has taken away from you both. My thoughts are with you both

Beautiful as ever thank you.

While our reactions to our various griefs through life are different for each of us, I imagine you'll grow ever more transcendently and brilliantly through, and empowered, by yours.

I'm lucky that I've known such traumas and letting gos of loved ones, and letting go my own soul a few times (and ongoing) that I have a near continuous peace now, and I imagine such peace for you; and also for James, because, as Robert Temple explains, in his wonderful 2022 book, A New Science of Heaven, and his interviews, (and I paraphrase) we are all pure energy: 99.9% plasma, not atoms. We are angels already, co-existing with other angels among us in the blurry margins of what we imagine to be life and/or death.

We teach and inspire others as mirrors, and your reflections are among the clearest, brightest and most lovingly optimistic of all.

Thanks and love, Alan

I am so, so sorry for your double suffering because you are suffering for him too though , as you say, your James is oblivious of the future changes. You are both in my thoughts.
