My one regret in life is listening to my Sister and going home instead of staying with my Dad at the hospital the night he died. I will never forgive myself for not being there at the end. I feel so so guilty...

I wish my dad hadn't had a stroke, I feel as if he died that day, even though the man I see now four years later, looks like my dad it isn't like him. But it is

Blue Moon you cannot let this eat away at you, you are not responsible, when it's your time to go that's it, nobody should every feel guilty, I know it's really hard, but you did the best you could and acted the way anybody probably would, looking back yeah you would have done things different, but thats the path we take and we take it for a reason, I am sure, your mum's at peace and will always be with you, now it's your time to let go of any guilt love max

my mum always suffered with heart burn,

then the night she rang me to say she had it really bad,and was trying to ring the doctor out,but couldn't understand what she had to do,it was an automated message .
so i got straight in the car and when around,when i got there i rang the on call doctor out,(thinking stupidly he wont be happy ,its only heartburn).
My mums house is set back off the road,so i went to the gate to wait for the Doctor,when he arrived (he was only a young lad) we went back to the house,
my mum was slumped over in the chair,my step father is standing in the door way in shock,saying she was OK a minute ago,
i pull her of the chair,onto the floor,i can remember seeing the look on the poor doctor face,it was sheer panic,he shouts to my step father to call an ambulance,
i start doing heart massage while he dose the breathing.i can remember staring into her eyes a seeing the life drain out of them.
anyway to cut a long story short the ambulance arrives the do shock thing (sorry don't know the technical terms) but you know there nothing they can do.
so 1 thing in my passed i wish i could change.
i wish I'd called for an ambulance as soon as my mum rang me.rather than driving to her house first.
i think my sister still holds me responsible
Sorry for ranting on.

I would have researched my family tree whilst my grandparents were still alive!!!!!!!!! Other than that I don't have regrets, just silly mistakes and stubborness but you only learn as you get older!!!

Aww Leanne..................it's because of carers like you that I am pleased Mum is in a home where the staff have become another family for her.

They know her better than we do now, especially as her language skills have almost gone.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a wonderful part of your patients lives :))))))
