My name is Carolyn and I am the primary caregiver for my mom for the past 2 years. This has been the toughest thing I have ever done and Im not sure if i will survive it. My mom has been getting worse every day and the disease sped up and seemed to skip some of the book stages with every surgery she had. Mom had fallen and broken a hip and then a year later fell and broke the other one. The found breast cancer for the second time and she went through year of treatments. My poor mom has been through so much I'm not sure how much more she can take. Hospice is in the house now helping me take care of her. I have 7 siblings and only one truly helps me. My older brother Bill has put his life on hold to come down and help me as much as he can. I could not do it with out him. One of my sisters helps when she can but we need so much more help. Mom is bed bound now and incontinent. I love her so much, she has always been my best friend and I miss her so much. She cannot even finish a sentence any more, her thoughts are so confused. She believes the people in the TV can see and talk to her. She talks to her long gone relatives and she asked when her mom is coming to see her. I just do not know if I am doing any of this right. I love her and just want to make her comfortable and Happy. I also am not sure if this disease will kill her. I m so confused and lost... if anyone has any stories out there to let me know if I am doing anything right please let me know.....
I miss my mom so much .. even sitting right here with her she is gone and I miss her.. She has always been my truest friend and my best friend. I miss her....
