I recognize that a lot of my outraged feelings stem from her rejection of all the offers to help her avoid this trouble... and that is self-centered as hell! <br /><br />People go a the pace they go- Mom was still acting insulted by the suggestion that she is unable to cope alone as recently as 3 months ago when she began falling out of bed. I added bed rails to her bed in January...<br /><br />There is a lot of opportunity to let go of myself and grow and find peace with not being in control of her life- even at this stage I truly can not be in charge of much. I am just shepherding. If I do this well, I will have new skills in being zen-like in the face of crazy statements. That's a skill I am sure will get a load of use!!<br /><br />Getting old is not for sissies, folks.

The fact that you are this upset by both the turn of events and her failure to plan for this eventuality shows just how much you care. She's very lucky to have someone like you - someone who genuinely wants the best for her - acting as her champion.<br />You can do this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12948428700468860311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913334021689472665.post-2077471196014472302013-02-21T12:51:59.412-05:002013-02-21T12:51:59.412-05:00And you are a good daughter too.

We have to like the people we turn out to be, above all, right?<br />So now I will add to my gratitude list: "I get to cry in my own car and not on a plane."
