I know throughout this whole journey. I've tried to deal with it on a day to day basis. Having to put Ma in a care home was the latest, but I did it.
I've tried to navigate through the difficulties. Communication with staff, people that I have visit Ma, her needs as well as personal calls with her and she demanding to go home.
Throughout it all the staff will always say how well she's doing. And I do think that she is - up to a point and and there's no choice because there's nothing else I can do.
All this to say, how did you all deal with this emotional rollercoaster of being saturated with guilt every day. Just feeling hopeless and no light.
The new thing with Ma is that a couple of ladies are picking on her. She mistakenly sat on one of their chairs in the main tv room. They screamed at her to get up and leave and she did. Now anytime they see her they scream at her. She gets scared and she goes into her room.
This has been going on for about 5 days now. I was hoping they would forget and we could move on. And I think at some point, they may?
But it's always going to be something. Always.
I know there's no exact timeline, But how long did it take you to feel at peace with your loved one being in a care home.
