Hi @Former-Member@TAB@Tanglefoot

I worry, like I did around my mothers passing 12mths ago yest that after/during the emotional ‘stuff’ I am confronted by my own mortality.. and see/well saw it is selfish but it reality I guess. And no one will be there for me when Im infirm and dying

[Former-Member]

Leaving Mr D alone the first time after he attempted was scary for me. Now 2 1/2 years on I do worry if he goes somewhere on his own.

Hi everyone sorry for being lazy with tags 😸

It’s not all the time but I usually guess when my daughter has decided she doesn’t need her medication and just leaving her for short periods of time causes worry. I’m also a shift worker and have rung in sick because I don’t want to leave her

[NikNik]

@TAB - that is definitely confronting. It's not selfish at all.

Well me father is dying basically although no one knows when but its a one way street he is 93 and multiple health issues and has just been put in a home re me trying to explain why I’m saying what Im saying

[TAB]

Well. Friend since school told me he felt same way after his mother passed recently @NikNik

[NikNik]

@Former-Member - understandable! Leaving him alone for the first time must have been a huge step.
It sounds like things are getting better now though - you are still 'worried' but would I be right in saying, it's not as scary?

[NikNik]

@Tanglefoot - your story is so common, particularly around calling in sick for work when things aren't going so well.
I hope you have a supportive work place.
Is your daughter still living with you?
