Barrowgirl - Thorntons eh, I might try that too! When dad died the first thing I wanted to do was get rid of all the trappings of illness, and kept thinking 'he's not got dementia now'. Now I'm past that bit I find it harder because the memories of the person pre-dementia come flooding back. People say that when someone has dementia you do your grieving when they're still here, but I think I suppressed all that, didn't have time. Now it's engulfing and all the things I had no chance to deal with have come back, I'm trying to look at it as a necessary process. Hope you're getting plenty of support and able to take your time and do things however you need to. xxxx
