I have a friend whose Mom has reached the stage of needing full time care.
I can talk all I want about how it is the most practical option, that to care for someone full time will have a damaging effect on her family and that it is impossible to care for someone 24 hours per day etc. But even as I am making the comments, I know that if it were my Mom, I would have all of the same emotions and concerns.
I am struggling to find supportive words to help her through this, as she is wrestling with the guilt associated with making this horrible choice.
Has anyone got any stories, comments, experiences, poems or words that can help her through this time.
Many thanks in advance,
Chris
