Re: I'm Taking Care of My Mom
Merry, sounds like you need a break. You are doing a wonderful thing for your Mom. Is hospice coming in to relieve you? If they aren't get it set up. I feel sad that your Mom is going through all of this. It is a very sad time for both of you but you are there for her and I know she is so glad that you are. You are in my prayers and I send my Besst Wishes. Mary L
