At 44 (198)
scotchy: i've been so lucky with my parents, my dad passed away at 88 and my mum is still going strong at nearly 91.i'm the eldest of 9 kids and they both worked hard to give us all a better life
You are a very lucky boy to have had your parents there for you heres some flowers for your dear mum
robplum: Thinking alone is probably not enough actually transforming her thoughts into activities assisting others stops the constant thinking thinking process, i dunno how your mother physical abilities but engaging in an activity that helps someone else be better than thinking
She is not capable of helping others, l had to pick her up off the floor two times last night. She has very bad arthritis and a spine condition which has caused her to lose all the muscle strength in her back, arms and legs. So she is how she is and shall remain so. In fact its a miracle she is not in a wheel chair as she was told she would be by the age of 45, she is now 76. She is one of the strongest, toughest women lve ever known and if the worst she suffers from in life is having bouts of deperession, self pity and dwelling on the past sometimes so be it she has earnt the right to do so. I wont be answering anymore of your posts on this subject with you Rob, you dont know the full history here and never will know it is private and lve had enough of this subject.
jem1964: hugs Faithe, I can imagine it hasnt been easy.
If your Mum is still troubled by the shingles or shingle pain try giving her L-Lysine available from the health food shop. This is the only thing that helps me as I wasnt given the anti-viral within 72 hours. Start her off on two a day and hopefully after a week or two she will noticed a difference. Then down to one for about a month. After that just have a bottle in the cupboard for the times they start tingling again

No its not easy, but l love and admire my mum so much and l feel privledged to be able to pay her back in kind for always being thier for us no matter what was going on in her life.
I will go the health food shop tommorow and get some L-Lysine for her, she was lucky we got her to the Dr within 72 hours so she had the anti-viral...so it could have been worse. Thanks Jem

sending some cyber hugs your way xxxFaithe: Ive had to battle to save my mother 3 times, when l lost my son, when l lost my boyfriend of 4 years and when she lost a very dear friend. My son was 6 years ago and the other two in the last 18 months. She just gave in and went a severe bout of depression and didnt want to eat, due to that she got a very bad case of shingles. Ive had to fight so hard to get her back. Its been one long hard fight for the last 6 years and the last 18 months have been even worse and lm still having to force her to eat enough. So l know what your saying about the will not to live. Somedays l feel l like l dont have the strength to keep fighting for her but l always find it. She openly admits lm the only reason she is still with us today as l refuse to let her give up.
My dear you will Always find the strength that is who you are! Realise you are one very very speciel Lady who will always come through no matter what.
Your mother passed on this legacy of love to you.
If your mum is the type of lady I think she is there would be some guilt in her mind about being a burden no matter what you say.
Just carry on giving her lots of cuddles, love and care that is all you can do,also I would never presume to give advice as you know you are doing everything that is humanely possible now.
I had the most wonderful Mum in the world too I also never left her alas' she died when I was only 22 years old, you are so blessed she here with you.

Yep spot on,same as mine
That was so cool 
Hello Mr Lookin
When I was in Tassie I used to phone my mother in NZ every couple of weeks and one day she said that she wasn’t going to put up with another winter. Took her three and half months to die. She knew what she was doing and I certainly didn’t have any problem with that, few years before we both knew we would never see each other again and had said our good byes.
Yes I was trying to help faithe, clearly wasn’t what she wanted or appreciated so there you go…

Yes my mum is the kind of lady you think she is and she has said to me that she worries that she is a burden. But l have told her that she isnt and never will be and she will never go into a home unless she needs around the clock nursing care. Society has got it so wrong now, we should look after our parents if it is at all possible and only put them in a home if you absolutley have too. And l know how lucky l am to still have her

Secondly l know Rob was trying to help but l know my mum and what she has been through in her life, he doesnt and sometimes a person can only take so much and mum has reached that point. With the crapp she has had to deal with in her life its a wonder she didnt break years ago...she is amazing. Everyone has a breaking whether they like to admit it or not no matter how strong they are or what thier beliefs are. Me l just try to bend occassionally so l dont break...its working so far.
Thankyou for what you said Lookin and you are right mums are so special and your not a sook and l think Martia will gorgive you for using all that paper
