Caring For Aging Parents Support Group
Caring for aging parents can be a difficul time as we become the caretakers for our parents. This broad responsibility can encompass such services as assisted living, adult day care, long term care, nursing homes, hospice care, and in-home care. Whether you have just started caring for your parents or just need a place to talk, we're here.
Just a reminder to anyone who has lost a family member under Hospice care. They provide a year of grief counseling after the death for nothing.
I was not going to bother with it but changed my mind and am glad I did.
They called me back right away and of course they have heard it all.
One of the first people who came out from Hospice to assess my Mom had a similar crappy relationship with her Mom like I did. So she did not berate me in any way for not wanting to be with my Mom when she died or see her dead.
Also remember you can call hospice any time to get your loved one's information into the system.
They do not have to be at death's door. But if they have your information they can get there faster if needs be.

I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today! Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...

I know this is stupid, but after not being able to find a job after graduation for almost two years, I ended up just taking an online teaching job because I couldn't find anything in my field. I was trying to get out of teaching and I feel so devastated. I felt this crushing feeling when I signed the paperwork and when I was in the meetings. I know that sounds so dramatic but it is how I felt. It...
It can be a hard thing emotionally for people to accept signing up for hospice, but please, PLEASE, as a guy who waited too long, don't be afraid to talk to them. Just because you talk to them does not mean you have to sign up then, or the next day, or ever!
