One Caretakers’ Situation
Hi there! My mother turned 88 last February. When she moved in with me because she could not make it on her own she believed that she was at the end of her special life. Now, seven years later, she is going strong and creating new relationships with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
And I am still hanging in there providing support, rides to the doctors, and encouragement. I am finding a balance that allows me to live my life while giving my mother a secure and productive life.
Enjoy and be proud of the journey you are taking.
