Some things are better left unsaid or are too painful to discuss but if the sigma attached to mental health issues is ever to be go then talking and sharing is the only way forward.Annastasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17378342030329757324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20297574.post-9076729506650592252011-10-17T18:15:17.688+01:002011-10-17T18:15:17.688+01:00We all mostly do the best we can and hope we are m...We all mostly do the best we can and hope we are making wise choices. Sometimes it is only the passage of time and events revealing that we didn't. Had we known we may have chosen differently. But foreknowledge is not available to us so we choose and hope for the best, dealing with the results as they come.<br /><br />Your dad has probably done the best he could. I think hypochondria is often connected to fear and somehow we think by taking extra precautions we can prevent some bad things happening to us. I imagine growing up with a mother who was mentally ill was not easy. And the taunts he endured from other children left their mark. <br /><br />At this late time in his life he needs love and acceptance and as much comfort as is possible to endure the rest of life.<br /><br />In helping him to be at peace you will find peace as well, and when he is gone there will be no regrets in your memory bank.<br /><br />He is blessed to have you for a daughter.Dinahsoarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03877872564454797447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20297574.post-56388151510761835022011-10-17T13:18:27.950+01:002011-10-17T13:18:27.950+01:00Dear Mimi, so sorry to read about your Dad.
