A week ago today DDs and myself sorted hubbys ashes. A very sad time. Cant believe it was a week ago already. 7months since he passed. Im not having so many flashbacks now, although they do rear up unexpectedly.

Thankyou Chris.
Put my mind at ease about it anyway!

Didn't stay long. My hubby, for a long time, preferred male staff, but if he had his wish, he would have been left...

I agree with Albert. This is a non judgemental forum. Typing errors happen, and when people are anxious and worried, they are quite likely to happen. Martin I think maybe request a meeting with the manager, and state that its not a practical suggestion, as you and the other male carer can not be on ...

My hubby used to confabulate. I found it easier to agree,go along with everything he said, unless it was something awful.
