@Shanus

Certainly sounds like a caring Mom alright!  Her heart is in the right place, she's still watching out for you.  Very sweet.

You've got a lot on your plate right now & I'm amazed how well you're handling it all, including your home routines.  That's probably a good thing to keep yourself occupied during this time.

Blessings to you for being such a loving daughter.

Let me add my thoughts and prayers, not an easy time at the best of time and especially difficult during the holiday season!

 

When I was walking a mile in your moccasins a Cardiologist said something to me I always remember. He said 'there is a natural end to all life on earth and we cannot 'cure' it and should not try to interfere and attempt to prolong a life that is coming to a natural end'. Like you, we turned to Hospice and accepted the inevitable.

One of my dear friends mother was dying of CHF and her brother was on the phone trying to get her a heart/lung transplant. She was well into her 80's and died 24 hours later. Created all sorts of additional grief in his reluctance to let his Mom go.


I so agree with this.

I will pray she has a happy death. We all die at some point, and it is something we are taught tp pray for. It means a peaceful end, and seeing the Face of God

 

Take care of yourself

Since you have a joint acct, why not set up all her bills online and

pay without checks?  Stop all the paper billing & remove all

physical checks from her residence. 

 

That’s just one step (huge step) to simplify the financial part...

and eliminates risk of potential fraud.  Plus it gives you control.

Dear Shanus,

Sending strength to you at this difficult time. What a treasure your mother sounds like! I pray for her -- and you and your family. G-d bless you.

I am amazed that your mother is so lucid-hospice care is best, especially with the addition of caregivers
