Caring for someone who is dying is hard but such a blessing to you later in life.

But you are doing it with love, and that makes all the difference in the world.<br />I, too, have had to accept a "new normal", with the diagnosis of leukaemia in my son.<br />Somehow, day by day, we all seem to get through.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383223698959645624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-45255325471537061642012-10-26T20:29:10.194-07:002012-10-26T20:29:10.194-07:00Oh wow, thanks for sharing.

I kind of think he didn't want to recover, but he did. I was hoping he would stay in the hospital longer, because I felt like they would have gotten him some real help for other things he struggles with. My mom tends to patronize him and tell him to "get with it" and I notice what a 180 he makes when she's not around and it's just me and him. Environment makes a huge difference, and you all sound like you care for her very well.

You have to fight to get someone into a care home - unless they have lots of money of course.Marion Teaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08173040175521050516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-30052914285604717452012-10-25T14:57:29.634-07:002012-10-25T14:57:29.634-07:00I am glad someone asked as I had also wondered.

The new normal seems to come upon us at various times of life and in various forms. <br /><br /><br />My Butler's Lives of the Saints lists Gaudentius of Brescia for today. Not sure how to decide which of several saints to choose for a day.Katneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13399336885633739593noreply@blogger.com
