25 of 52 of 2024

This week was a very stressful week.  It was my first day back after being off last week to spend with the kids after they graduated.  
The kids are settling into summer ok. They're doing a lot of cleaning and organizing which I love.  
Mom had a really rough week.  She's not able to walk much or put weight on her legs.  I do believe she is declining faster.  I also believe that my brothers and I are breaking her too.  We're not realizing that the way we talk to her and treat her is taking a toll on her.  She's feeling like a burden.  And she is but it doesn't mean we have to treat her that way.  It's hard to be positive in a situation like this because she really doesn't want to live anymore.   Us taking care of her is prolonging the inevitable.   We are starting to look at memory care facilities that can care for her better than we can at home.  And it many ways it hurts my heart that I can't do more.  My body and mind can't handle it.
