My Catalyst: Living in Limbo It's day thirteen since mum was rushed to hospital. It was my first time in an emergency resuscitation room, somewhere I hope never return to. Thirteen days of sitting next to mum holding her hand, whispering encouragement, singing songs, telling her how much we all love her and waiting. Waiting for any sign that she will be OK and come through this. We take one step … [Read more...]

What Fear are you afraid of unconsciously teaching your child? I have an irrational fear of spiders. I have no idea what started my fear, I never remember it not being there.

Alzheimer's and living in the moment Many of you know that my mum has Alzheimer's. This year will be mum's fourth year of living with me and my family and I would not have it any other way.
