Thanks Mum, that really was a moving post. I don't have much to say as these days my brain is mush, however this post just proves once more how lucky I am to have you. Thank you so much for all you do for me.

This is a really good point Bec. I even forgot this point myself, but it is true! A forum member has died, my brother Brian. Brian is not just someone who people have heard about on this forum through my family, he was a member here, he posted, people interacted with him and he was even in the chatroom as I recall. He was here 2 days before he died. I'm sorry if it freaks anyone out to say so, but I really think it's important for the carers to realize. The possibility of death for a sufferer is a lot closer than some of you may think. There may be other members who are deceased as well. Remember that the next time any of you feel like "getting even" with your sufferer.
