Janice, hi
I've pleased you've had news of how it went today, heartbreaking but as you say she is safe and will be well looked after, I do hope she settles well and you have a good visit at the weekend, fingers crossed.
With best wishes from Jo

Janice, I'm pleased for you and for your sisters that your Mum is safe and secure. Yes she doesn't like it, that's not surprising. It's different to what she's used to, smells wrong, sounds wrong, but she is safe. ( as are the drivers on the M6 
) This is a breathing space for you all, if you get to visit this weekend all well and good, BUT if you don't or can't....that is not a sin and it certainly isn't a crime. The world will not stop turning if you actually put you and yours first for a change. Build up your strength and you'll cope better. Love Maureen.x.

Love Maureen.x.janice, youve done the hardest part and no doubt tonight and the next few days will be tough on you but dont give up hope. Shes safe and secure albeit not exactly happy, and at least you know you wont have the police at the door telling you shes half way down the motorway! Tomorrows the first day of the next chapter and with the help and support of the CH, family, friends etc you will get through this. Face each day as it comes and accept that you havent let her down, youre just showing your love in a different way now. good luck x

Hi Janice,
We felt exactly the same when we had to get mum "assessed" in the hospital, beginning of december. The social worker and Crisis nurse took her away in their car, I had to tell dad to come away from the window, we had to tell her she was just going in for a rest. I knew then, that she'd never be coming home, it was heartbreaking, we're waiting to get mum into a home now, and that will be heartbreaking again, but I agree, we've got to console ourselves that thinking they are safe, fed and watered, getting the care, that in most cases is beyond our realistic means. I hope she settles soon and you can have nice visits, I've done an album for mum too, but she doesn't look at it at the moment, I can just hope, when, and if, she calms down a bit, I can look through it with her.
