We admitted Mom to a long-term care facility Friday

7. Such a hard decision

I feel for you.

We had to put both my Dad (stroke and cancer) and my Mom (Alzheimer's) in assisted living in their 80's. They were heartbroken and angry to leave their home of 50 years. My Dad died a few months after the move. My Mom lasted about 4 more years, after developing a host of other problems.

I lived in CA at the time, so the hard work fell on my brother.

Worrying about my mother-in-law now. She's been incapacitated after a fall earlier in the year. We can't get any good answers from the two siblings that live there, and we're several states away. I'd be camped on the doctor's doorstep.

You sound like a loving daughter MissMillie. You and your Dad can lean on each other.
