Caring for Mom

Please know that you are truly admired by those of us who know what you are going through. It is difficult enough to take care of someone with dementia, but to watch someone you love fall victim to this cruel disease is especially heart wrenching. Obviously your mother set a wonderful example for you in the way she took over after your father died. She would be so proud that you are now passing that gift on to your children by doing what you feel is right for her. Bless your giving heart!!

Ms.

I add my breath to the comments above. I learned 2 words from a woman who stepped in to caretake her x husband of 12 or so yrs. She said to us, at the memorial, OF COURSE. I told him “of course I will” – for her son’s sake and to honor the gift of his life they’d both gotten. I am in process of breaking my home down to go and live in my parents home and participate in the shifting sand under my father, give my mom some space and time out and be there to hear the stories and sit on the back porch – to do what is right. Of course. And, I am seeking all the organizations in the area I can to learn how to take care of myself as well – the race is long, we set the pace as we can and remember no one gets there alone. How magnificent to have this organization pop into my line of vision.
I am proud of you, each of you. Of course.

I can say to you that your mother does not know what a burdon she is to you.it sounds to me that she is very sick and needs love and affection. i know that it is hard on you but sometimes in life we have to sacrifice things in order to get our own blessings. God puts us through tests sometimes to see if we would turn to him for help, i think that you would find great comfort in reading your bible. It is a great thing that your husband is helping you through this and he hasn’t asked you to choose between him and your mother. I remember being 15 when my grandmother got in a terrible car accident, she had almost every bone broken in her body. It was me and my little sister mostly my mom was on drugs really bad and my dad wasn’t around. I had to cook, clean, give her a bath, everything on top of school and taking care of my 10 year old sister. There was noone to help me except the good lord and i thank him everyday for not taking my grandmother away because it could have been way worse than it was. I know it’s frustrating but hang in there, there is light at the end of the tunnel and a glorious blessing waiting for you. Pray to our father and he will supply all your needs.

very touching I am in the same boat

Your story is similar to mine. I how ever do not have siblings. We don’t have family out here. My self and my 81 YO dad take care of my mother who has dementia. I am almost 44, and we also have a care giver. We love her so much we will not place her. She was so sharp it was amazing! she held a supervisor position for 15 years at a major hospital, made all the decisions, took care of the house, raised me and took care of my grand mother. She also trained new employees. We are so devistated as it is practically a 24/7 job. Every one loves her. I am also a doctor and I put my career on hold. There is so much I can do for her. Shes almost 78 YO, And thank god my parents pushed me through collage and medical school. It had to be a divine intervention. She looks very good, beautiful skin , but it is so hard , so much work, the pain and suffering, Not to mention that this is a very complicated sickness that often breaks up family’s and can cause many other problems. Who ever is reading this that has a loved one with dementia. DO NOT CHALLENGE this disease. It will win. If you choose to provide in home care then you must stay healthy, be very pro active with support groups, doctors, open to new things, and have enough help in the house. Please don’t try to take care of a parent alone with dementia. Your story is similar to mine. I how ever do not have siblings. We don’t have family out here.

I’m sorry that your extended family is not being supportive. That can be one of the hardest trials to bear. But don’t give up. It sounds like you are a wonderful example for your children. Keep doing what you’re doing, and someday your children will grow up to be responsible, charitable adults who do what they do because of you. Your story will be a hallmark to carry them through hard times.
