It's good to know what you should or should not say, and it's nice to hear about caregiving from someone with experience. <br /><br />Claire Reynolds || <a href="http://www.seniorshomealone.com/#!dementia-and-alzheimers-care/c13jp" rel="nofollow"> http://www.seniorshomealone.com/#!dementia-and-alzheimers-care/c13jp</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158863920266744241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253414197052389663.post-4662783251638621412014-02-19T23:21:19.171-05:002014-02-19T23:21:19.171-05:00Thank you for sharing.

After my Pops passed away I too felt that feeling of being cut adrift. When your parent becomes the centre of your universe (even as a grown-up with a family of your own)and then it's suddenly gone it comes as much of a shock as the grief. Nearly three years on I still have the compulsion to keep myself ridiculously busy because there's that fear that if I stop and acknowledge my parents' loss, the wave will hit me again and I'll be right back where I started. Keep strong and thank you for your blog.
