It's odd as a child to help your parent "prepare" for their "new home" in the next life. So odd. I hope your posts help someone realize they are not alone and doing the right thing when they have to make the hard decisions - thanks ~*~LisaThe Moonlit Stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579855658011403660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610624919528564188.post-43723190600318409682014-02-09T02:20:48.101-06:002014-02-09T02:20:48.101-06:00I know what your going through, I am an only child...I know what your going through, I am an only child, and to have a sibling to share this experience, some one to talk to, might be a bit comforting. I went through this with both my parents. As long as you do the best you can there is nothing else you can do. The Hospice people helped me so much to understand the stages they were going through. Bless your heart I wish you peace and comfort.Beverly...Heartland Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492457756926602750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610624919528564188.post-24527251345001752452014-02-08T19:44:25.330-06:002014-02-08T19:44:25.330-06:00I'm glad to see you writing down your feelings...I'm glad to see you writing down your feelings and sharing your journey with your mom.

She is visibly becoming more frail and my Sis is handicapped and won't be able to handle it all by herself. Praying your Mom does well in the nursing home, you are a good only daughter, glad you had your hubby by your side.<br />AnnAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13841651518661408615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610624919528564188.post-50303708892818753032014-02-08T16:42:50.268-06:002014-02-08T16:42:50.268-06:00I know how you feel..we kept mom home till an infe...I know how you feel..we kept mom home till an infection set het to a rehab facility in a nursing home..but when we knew they couldn't do anymore we arranged for her to come back home and had hospice.They were wonderful and mom knew she was home where she wanted to be ..she passed quielty 4 days later but bring her home was the right choice for us.<br />suzanSUZIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719604945299068765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610624919528564188.post-42664177191646777962014-02-08T15:32:08.028-06:002014-02-08T15:32:08.028-06:00That was beautiful, Natalie.
