I have posted about an elderly neighbour with Dementia who has his son looking after him. His son’s sister and nephew were due to move in soon, but sadly last Friday the sister collapsed and died. Mom saw the neighbours son ( Andrew ) this morning and he says that he is finding it hard to cope with his Dad and his nephew and he is having to pay for his brother in law who is in a home due to ill health. He also is having to organise a funeral for his sister. He also said that his nephew ( James ) only goes out of his room to make a drink or use the bathroom. He too is finding it all very hard to cope with the loss of his Mom and having to move in with his Uncle and Grandfather. Someone is coming to see them tomorrow to work out what help they need. Life can be cruel …..

Bless his tired heart. I really wish there was someone who could ease his burden. Sometimes family does what they can, and it is still not enough.

Yes, very true ….and unfortunately now there is no family left to help. We will keep our eye on him and offer to do what we can ….

@AmbiePam I was really looking forward to his sister moving in and having a chat ….she hadn’t been for a long time and I am with Mom a few days a week so it would have been easier for us to have a catch up ……sad times …..

Gosh what a tough time. And hard for the nephew if he's quite young? To have to move to a new place and cope with the loss of his mum and all the other upheaval without his friends around

The nephew is 27 but has autism so there are added issues. He was also alone with his Mom at home when she collapsed. Very sad.

This would be such a difficult situation at the moment. I hope there is some help available for him. He certainly needs it.
