Hello everyone
I have just returned from a lovely break in Jersey. It was so good to be away from all the problems and just relax.
While I was away mom's house was finally closed up and all her furniture apart from a few small items that we hope one day to be able to take into mom were either given away or broken up.
I am going to visit mom tonight and I feel so nervous about it, I dread going to see her knowing that she no longer has a home because all she asks me is when is she coming home and how is her house and garden. We haven't told mom about giving her house up because we feel it will break her. I know that lying to her is the kindest thing to do but I feel so bad about it.
Also we were told that by now mom would not know us but she has progressed so very slowly, this is good, but my sister and I feel that if we knew this twelve months ago then maybe we would not have been pushed into putting mom into residential care. Is this how all of us feel.
How long ago that holiday feels. Was it only last week.
Take care all of you. Any advice would be so very much appreciated.
Love Jacky
