My wonderful stepfather fell in AZ on June 22 and by June 27 had died. This has left my 90-year-old mother completely devastated and accelerated her dementia. I have been with her almost continuously since the end of June but now am home for a short time and trying to make some intelligent decisions while I am out of the "pressure cooker". My mother's ongoing and adamant request is that she be "allowed to stay in my home". It is 4000 square feet with a huge yard and ridiculous marble floors but it is her safe place and the place she was happy with my stepfather so we are trying to honor that. There are three very agreeable and attentive stepbrothers involved as well as my brother and me and a second brother who has pretty much left the family. There is some pressure from several family members to "move her into a facility". I don't think I can live with that. Right now we have a patchwork of palliative care, Visiting Angels, amazing neighbors and family stopping by as able. But I've been home three days and three medical appointments have already popped up. Because I have taken care of my mother off and on for major illnesses since 2005 I know the backstory, the shorthand of how she gestures when she is too tired to talk (she has a laryngectomy), who her doctors and meds are, etc. Because of this no one can take as good care of her as I can. I have said for some time that if I weren't raising my 12-year-old granddaughter here in CO I would just pack up and go. But I think God is telling me that arrangements can be made here and that I should go if my mother really only has a few months. (The palliative care nurse said she did not expect her to be here by the end of the year.) Being gone from home for long periods of time leaves HUGE gaps for my CO family but perhaps they are not as insurmountable as I have been telling myself. I need prayers for God to show me where he wants me when and how to prop up the other pieces. (Sorry for the novella:)
