I had to make a snap decision about some respite today. Admit mom or lose the place. She’s on a weeks respite with a view to her staying permanently.
It’s one of the worst decisions I have ever had to make.
I keep hoping I’ve made the right decision.
She didn’t want to stay. She was angry and annoyed. She did however have lunch and dinner without argument.
If she’s not suitable for long time care there I’m dreading bringing her home and she hating me even more.
I’m not sure why i needed to post but here people know how I feel today.
I can’t stop crying and I never cry. My only thoughts are what if she dies in the next couple of days with her last thoughts that I abandoned her. I know it’s silly but she does have heart problems.
The home have suggested its best if I stay away and not visit so they can settle her.
Why is it all so hard ?
