So im acaregiver to my mom for a little over a year now and today she sat with my family and I to tell us she is too weak to fight anymore and wants to go to some sort of hospice! She says to get professional help and give my father and I back our lives! This is the first she has said anything about this and she seems very persistent! We have a huge close family and we have told her she is more than welcome to live with us and get assistance from a nurse if she feels she needs it>>>says she is depressed and fears being paralyzed and unable to speak...she says too much work to move...sys she needs rest and cant see herself getting to that point ...but why leave us? We wanna spend every last minute with her and its like suddenly that doesnt matter! I dont know what else to tell her and I dont know if asking her not to go is selfish on my part...i dunno if anyone else has been thru this and if it will pass but im so sad that she will go. She says she doesnt wanna die in our homes...but none of us care about that all we want is for her to be home so that we can all enjoy eachother here on earth while we can. I feel helpless and nothing i say seems to help.....:-(
