..... after a very long day! we moved my mum from her home of 65+ years into very sheltered accommodation (VSH). She has a lovely little flat with her own kitchen, lounge, bedroom and bathroom and we have taken as many things as we can to re-create her original home.
Mum has been very brave about this move although, because she suffers with dementia, it's clear that sometimes she understands and at others she doesn't ?
She was very happy when we left her but later called me to ask "where am I"; "why am I here"; "will I have to stay here for long" ... emotional and heart-wrenching stuff?
My cousin called in to see her a little later and found her very confused but, on leaving, she said that mum was more her old self and seemed a lot more relaxed.
This is possibly the hardest thing I have encountered since my dear dad died nearly 20 years ago....
Please tell me it gets better ....?
What's the worst gift you've ever been given?
