Last night and into this morning, I feel truly lousy, as in depressed.
The whole situation, regarding being a caregiver for my mother tends to take a toll once in a while. Well, now is one of those "whiles".
Things you give up while taking care of Mom? Sleeping with your spouse every night, THEN worrying about running your OWN home, worrying about running Mom's home( or what's left of it),dealing with pulling non-existing money out of a hat, trying to eek some time away for mental health, dealing with a job that is really, well, that's a separate posting in itself, among other things....
Then there is Mom, laying in her hospital bed, curled up on her side,under a flannel blanket living in her own world. Yes, I am there for you, Mom, because you were always on the other side of the bed for me.
It'll get better...I hope.

Yes, it certainly sucks. I can't say more 'cos I know exactly where you're coming from and that's what we do, because they were there and we love them, no matter what.....

Hang in there love. It WILL get better, I promise. Love Leah's nana
Thanks guys.
Rereading my post and getting a little teary( probably to match the weather outside), but especially since the stroke, it just so sad to see her in this state.I thank God I still have the memories of better times with Mom, when she was exactly that- Mom. They flood my heart at the strangest times, but I guess that is for a reason. xxoo Mar
