Relationships

Very Sad but I think Mum has decided enough's enough.

I've posted before about Mum's fighting spirit and refusal to give in despite neglect and abuse in her last care home.

The nursing home she has been in for the last 18 months has given her the best of care so we've had time to put the bad times behind us and enjoy watching her regain her sense of humour and live a contented and comfortable life despite her increasing dementia.

Things took a turn for the worse when we visited on Monday. She appeared even more frail and reluctant to eat and drink. I went in again today and she is now refusing all personal care and doesn't want to be touched although she did let me hug and kiss her.

I'm going in again tomorrow as I think she has decided that enough's enough and it's time to go. If that's the case I hope she doesn't linger in this kind of limbo that she's now in. sad
