I lost my husband in June last year and the grief and mental turmoil seems to be getting worse. We had been together 52 years and I thought we had a good circle of friends and relatives but how wrong I was. My husband had ongoing health issues but was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s not long before he died “ luckily “ his body gave out before his mind did and I nursed him every second of every day but not long after he’d gone my oldest friend’s husband came down and tore, what I thought was a good friendship to shreds. He also stated that it had been boring to visit us because we never left the house. He was a mental health nurse for the elderly and of all people should know you cannot plan anything in advance. My husband also had an abdominal catheter fitted and was fecaly incontinent. I feel worse mentally and physically exhausted but I try to carry on. I suppose I’m trying to say, you really do find out who your friends are in times of crisis
What a nasty so and so who speaks to people like that . Your better off without people like that.
Omg the selfishness of some ppl always surprises me. I always thoughtvyou was meant to help ppl and care. I have learnt the hard way these last 9 weeks. I always hope I keep my compassion for other ppl. Hugs Jo xxx

That’s not nice. You think you know ppl but when the going gets tough … keep posting on here as ppl are very understanding.x
@Steve7222 so sorry to hear this, what an awful way to behave. I hope you have friends who have been kind and understanding. Sad to lose a friendship but sounds like he’s not the person you thought he was. X
