She also told me that faith can ease the burden, but that these times are hard, regardless. May your faith and your family ease your burden.

I can relate, as two years ago I was in a similar position, though my parents live only 1hr 45min away from me. That part is much different than your distance. My fairly healthy parents suddenly had health issues that required me to make numerous trips and be away from my own family of four teens still needing oversight and a husband I enjoy being with. My brother (oldest of three) passed away in 2006, and my sister lives in GA. She helped immensely thru phone/text and four trips to the Midwest. Varied hard issues concerning health, dementia brought on by a medication that led to very poor financial decisions, etc. With the help of my sister, we got them moved to assisted living, but that was not without its difficult bumps. One thing I would remind you, if you haven't thought of it, the hospital she was in should have social workers who you could ask questions of. They're trained to help families, and I think that might at least give you someone to bounce your thoughts off. I pray that God lightens your load in some way and reminds you that you are not alone. I pray He gives you wisdom about the best facility for your mom at this time. Remember, this may just be temporary, and you can investigate other options in her area. I'm sorry you are so far from home and alone in the decision making. <br />Nancy in the Midwest Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
