Nursing home guilt....

‎02-04-2011 09:32 PM

Hi All,

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.

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

Many have come and gone, but they all left paw prints on my heart
