https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Nursing-home-guilt/m-p/27087#M12843 <P>Hi All,</P> <P>I don't post often but today has been the hardest day of my life and I need to know if it gets better...My mom has early on-set dementia and is now 69 and has been living with me for 5 years. My sister and I decided a few weeks ago to start looking for homes for her as she was getting worse. To make a long story short, she fell down the stairs a week ago Sunday and was hospitalized for 10 days. During the hospital stay it was decided to place her, since she was clearly in need of better care than I could give.</P> <P>Not looking for sympathy, but last night she was finally placed and I lost it on the way out the door of the home. Does anyone have any experience with this, does it get better??? TIA</P> <P> </P> Sat, 05 Feb 2011 02:32:35 GMT annaboxer 2011-02-05T02:32:35Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Nursing-home-guilt/m-p/27087#M12843 <P>Hi All,</P> <P>I don't post often but today has been the hardest day of my life and I need to know if it gets better...My mom has early on-set dementia and is now 69 and has been living with me for 5 years.
