Because my children are kept up to date on everything that is going on with their grandmother and they see how draining it has been,I have given them my permission to put me in a facility if they can not have a life and care for me.
Many years ago my great-great-grandmother lived with my father's family,he was a little boy, and everyone helped. But when you are alone and noone is willing to take the time and it be a team effort it is almost impossible.
My friends tell me " the caregiver can not give care if the caregiver is not recieving care". All of you remember to take some time for YOU so you can give the very best of care. |
Wow. What a wonderful post. I agree with everything you said!
I have had the same conversation with my son - please find the best home I can afford and put me there! Do NOT spend your life taking care of me. I will have had more than my fair share of life - it will be my son's turn to have his.
Upping my 401K in the hopes I will have enough money to afford the NICE AL with the fancy dining room and activities!.
