Mom's health
We made the decision this week to put Mom on hospice care. We don't
know if she will be with us for weeks or months. She has lived a full 96 years and I am very thankful to have had her in my life all this time. She remains at my home. I will have help with her care at least part of each day. Two days a week someone will be here for six hours so I will be able to leave the house. Quilting has been my companion the last few months as I have been spending more and more time at Mom's side. It is such as joy to have an interest that calms my spirit and provides friends like all of you who provide support even if from afar. Susan Laity Price |

Mom's health
Susan, I am so glad you are able to get some help. 96 years is a good go
at this life. I hope she has had a great one and am glad too you have been able to enjoy her all these years. My heart goes out to you for being such a strong daughter and to you at a tough time you seem to be handling with grace. Big hugs to you both, Taria "Susan Laity Price" wrote in message ...

Mom's health
Susan,
I'm glad she will remain at home with you, but I'm also thankful that you will have some respite. It is a blessing to you to have had your mother for so many wonderful years, and I hope that I can be as good a caregiver as you have been should that situation arise in our family. Continued prayers are going up for you and your mom.

Mom's health
I'm sorry for the sadness this has obviously caused you. I'm glad you
have agreed to have help; it will mean you are not too exhausted to enjoy her company for whatever time she has left. I'm sure she has felt so loved to have been with you for such a long time. ..

Mom's health
Hospice is a wonder organization that helps so many & they do it so quietly.
It's great to have their support and their skills to help with the care of your mother. You do need some respite & you will really value that in the weeks/months to come. I considered caring for my mother in her final months, her final gift to me - that she allowed me to care for her & to have all that extra bonding time - priceless & a treasure to me. I hope your mother remains comfortable & that you have some time to de-stress and relax. Pauline Northern California "Susan Laity Price" wrote in message ...

The best of all possible solutions when you have the space and facilities. It's so hard to make these decisions, but it sounds like it really is the best for your mum, you, and all the family. Make Christmas a good one: if she's no longer there in body, she will be in spirit.

Thank you for everyone's kind thoughts and prayers. The hospice staff
has made several suggestions that are making it easier to care for Mom. Everyone I have met through the organization has been very kind. Susan |
