In reply to the discussion: Tough Ass Day for me [View all]WestMichRad

Sorry for the predicament you and your mom are in. She needs your love, above all else.
I sort of know how you feel. On the very day I had to move my parents from their home of over 50 years into a senior apartment setting, because they could no longer negotiate the stairs or maintain living independently, my father had a stroke and eventually ended up in a nursing home
where he passes a couple months later (with my mom staying in the aforementioned apartment). I felt like I had not only pushed them out of their home, but also split them from living together. It was a really difficult time for all of us.
Treasure those moments with your mom as best you can, while you still can.

Strength to you and her. I'm glad she got to spend one more summer with her flower garden.
