  I’m With You

  From Val47 September 24

  I might have been reading my own story here. I was so moved by what you and your family are going through. I had to let my Mum go into care and it tore me apart to let her go. The first experience she had was being put in a shared room with a lady who was in bed dying, as she did while mum was in there. Mum was always afraid of death. I moved her from that place, the next 'home', she fell down the stairs the first week there, broke her arm. She also complained that an old man kept getting into bed with her. In the same place she was outside with others enjoying the sun, decided to go inside, fell up some stone steps, smashed her face and suffered two black eyes. I moved her to another one where she seemed quite happy and settled, left her with some drawing books and pencils and they were never seen again. In the same home she fell out of a high bed, fell over some sheets left on the floor. A lot of private homes here there are only two staff on at night to see to maybe twenty clients. If one needs two people to help them wash and get into bed, that leaves the rest of the clients on their own downstairs doing,'who knows what'. My Mother used to beg and plead with me to 'take her home' she'd add, "I'll be good". It broke my heart to leave her, I felt so helpless and cruel, I still suffer with feelings of guilt seven years after she died. I really feel for you and your family in this but do encourage them to set up a rota so that each can visit in turn, it simply is very unfair to put this on to one individual's shoulders, inadvertantly they are abusing you in the cruelest way imaginable. I pray that they will take some of the burden off you. God Bless.

  Prayer

  From MgcHope August 17

  My heart and prayers go out to you. You really did the best thing for your mother by getting her into a place where they can take care of her. It has only been a month give it some more time. She will eventually adjust to her new home. Have your brought familiar things from home for her room? Pictures, blankets, knick knacks ? It helps to have familiar objects to make the adjustment.

  Good Luck

  From Pounder July 19

  Sending you some Irish good luck, to help you through this upcoming week. I hope the move goes well. Try not to be too hard on yourself and take a lot of deep breaths...remember...just breathe if it gets tough. The first few days were hard for my Dad and then he started to settle in slowly. It will be ok....give your Mom and Dad both a big hug...and I'll send you one for you from me! Thinking of you...
