Hi there...had to sell mums house this time last year. Think I just went into automatic pilot and got it done. It is hard and seems very unfair.
I have just joined the forum as way of getting info on stages etc that other people go thru.
My mum been in care home year.
Gradually getting worse and now ,for some reason,sexually accosting a man in the home. Not sure how long they can deal with this. Can see move to a nursing home soon.
Good luck with the sale etc hope it goes OK.
Donkeygirl, my dad's been in care since 2022. First time me and daughter visited, he was holding hands with a woman walking down the corridor. It was hard to see that but I reminded myself he's not the same person. It's hard at first but sadly, eventually, you get used to it. He still recognises us; smiles when he sees us but he's forgotten our names and I'm not sure he knows I'm still his daughter. My mam was still driving in the Summer and I took her out shopping, for appointments etc.Her deterioration was rapid and I'm still getting my head around her not being here anymore.
The house went up for sale Monday, we just hope it goes quickly. Mam's funeral not until next week ( crem has been being refurbished!). It's all been full on since she passed. The bureaucracy is never ending. Thankfully, I had POA so it made things a bit easier. Good Luck with your mam going forward but also remember to look after yourself x
