brain. We had a terrible time with her yesterday.I will spare you with the details.we were hoping for some quiet time as we have had a lot of company coming and going for the last 6 weeks.I am sooo tired!We don't sleep well either because we listen for mom(sometimes she needs help in the night) The nurse said she is going to put mom in a care facility as soon as a room comes available...but I know mom will fight it all the way! Sorry for venting but I'm a nervous wreck here and seem to be in tears half the time...just had to get it out.

Dear Nadyne,I am sure it is very difficult and tiring but believe me it is still better to be close to them ,Itoo have a sick parent and she is soo far off that it is soo painful and breaks my heart that I cannot be for her when she needs me.Any way A belated Happy Birthday.LOL Tanuja

I Will pray for you and your mother Nadyne.

Nadyne, what a shame that you have to deal with this. Lots of us have and do, I guess if we live long enough, we will be taking care of a parent. Try to find some quite time, whether you pray or meditate or just take a walk. It will help with the stress that you must be under. My prayers are with you both and you tell that DH he is something special.;)

Nadyne, my heart goes out to you. I have lived through this and before the end came I was soo tired. I was fighting my battles and my Mom's! It did not help for me to fight so hard because during it all, the Lord was my Mom's keeper. The Lord will look after her and you also. When her times comes, you take solace in the fact that she is much better off than suffering like she has done. Of course you will hurt and will miss her for a very long time but you will realize that you do/did not want her to suffer either. The Lord takes care of all of us so trust that He will help you, your Mom and the whole family to get through all of this. Spend as much time with her as you can and cheer her on as long as she can understand you. Both her love for you and yours for her will bring you both through all of this and you will get comfort from the Lord through all of this awful trying time. Hugs and blessings to you and the family!

When my Mom was put in a care facility, she too fought it for a few days, but then enjoyed it tremendously. Think she wished she was there with the other folks, for longer.
Happy Belated Birthday to you; sorry I didn't contact you yesterday.
Take a deep breath and know that God is in control and will handle all things in the best manner.
Love,
Jacqueline

My dear Chenille,

Firstly, Happy birthday to you for yesterday.

Secondly, I am so sorry to read about your mother - watching a loved one suffering is a most dreadful thing. I pray that you will find the strength to continue what you are doing in your care for her. When the time comes for you to have her put into a care facility - I pray that your Mum will accept the change.

God bless you love and blessings Chris
