in Caring for a Parent
Over the past 5 weeks my MOM’s memory has deteriorated rapidly.
She is in a nursing home and I see her almost every day. Was really strong and with it and then splat.. it all crushed.. just a few weeks before I was to have Hip Replacement Surgery .. Surgery is 2 weeks past..my brother and sister were both here to care for me and see MOM daily..since their departure she has gotten worse.. I am staying calm with her and still in denial getting through my surgery and getting well..also working full time..I have been her caretaker for the past 8 years moving from New Orleans to Florida- Im new to talking about all of this and welcome feedback.. I cannot do yoga right now ..lots to still process. I welcome feedback eve

    I assume you have hospice on board. They will be able to offer help + resources.
