But we have to also have the courage to let some things just happen. <br />Its difficult enough being a carer without always having to get it right. Take care and hope Christmas goes well. <br />I am snowed in and have missed two days off work. Not a good thing for a workaholic!! xxaccidental carerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000246103604350653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936266863348563954.post-84202801338245153832010-12-17T04:26:54.991-08:002010-12-17T04:26:54.991-08:00thank you both and as always you were right...she ...thank you both and as always you were right...she came home fine with her christmas sweater on all bubbling with stories of the day. I must work on separating those emotions and have faith in the man above. I cant control or know everything....I love you both...thanks again for the words of inspiration.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569750110913160540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936266863348563954.post-7211185115529916842010-12-14T23:16:20.964-08:002010-12-14T23:16:20.964-08:00I agree with donna m let Mum have what little inde...I agree with donna m let Mum have what little independence is left. If something happens it will not be because you have been neglectful. You have to be able to relax at some point and say ce sera sera. Mum has to be able to relax and say she is still able to do things for herself. <br />It still concerns me that I have to go to work and leave Phil but I have to trust that everything will be ok. If I sat here all day waiting and watching I would go mad. <br />I guess we have to put a lot of our life in God's hands. He knows best. <br />Bachs Rescue Remedy may help Donna. I rely on it totally to get through some days. Take care and try not to take on the world.

Let those who can look after her do so, you need the break, she does too, as well as feeling that little bit of independence that she has left. You know this stuff, we've talked, you've read about it in my blogs and heard it on the talk radio. But, I know it is a hard thing to get a grip on and not be fearful and anxious.
