All is not well right now!!! Mood

Saturday, May 17, 2008 | A General Update story

Hi dear friends,
This is going to be short and sweet. I am exhausted. I have been running nonstop for the last 12 days. I have decided to bring my mother home and care for her myself due to nursing home issues. I am having to pack up her apt. and have everything moved into storage by May 31st. Also have to pack up some of my own stuff to make room for her here. Daughter is still no help and is still trying to make everything good I try to do impossible.

Please keep me, my mother and daughter in your prayers. As soon as I have a second I will update you all on what has been happening. My computer crashed last week and I just got it back up and running today. Mother is very sick and in a lot of pain. I am running on empty. My daily plea to God to give me the strength to get through this is what has kept me going and out of the hospital myself.

I really need your prayers and I promise after I get mother moved in with me I will update you all. I will try to be back in 7 to 10 days if at all possible.
Hugs,
Rhonda

God will give you the strength you need. Even when you don't think so it will be there for you. It might be from the support of your friends or from the strength within yourself. But it will be there. Love and prayers.

Hi Rhonda, My sister and I took care of my mom for over 5 years, my sister moved in with her and my dad . I lived just around the corner and was there everyday, so I know what you will be going thru. A nursing home was never an option for us, our mom always wanted to die in her home and she did. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to go thru., but I can tell you I will NEVER have any regrets, and that is so important for survival after they are gone. I am sorry you don't get help from your daugher but I know The Lord provides help in time of trouble for my sister and I it was each other, she is my twin and our mom saved our lives when we were sent home from the hospital to die 2 weeks after we were born, I feel if it hadn't been for her we would have died in fact that is what the doctor said, she devoted her life to keeping us alive. We tried to make each day a beautiful one for her. I am married and my husband supported me in my choice to go to my moms every single day from about 6 to midnight, watching tv, playing with mom (cards, Kismet, Yatzee, etc. until she could no longer play games.) My heart still hurts unbearabley but My Lord gives me the strength to go on knowing I will see her again. Praise The Lord. What does a person do who doesn't KNOW Jesus? I pray for you everyday and May God hold you and yours in the palm of HIS hand until we meet again. Your friend In Christ, Nancy

Thank you all so much for your loving support. It is my 2nd lifeline right now. (God is my 1st). I have a difficult time making it thru the day if I can't come on DS and hear from all my loving, supportive friends. You all are a true blessing from God and I treasure each of you. After this is all over I want to get to know you new friends a lot better. I plan on traveling and hope to meet some of you in person. It would be a wonderful blessing for me to be able to meet some of the angels that helped me thru this very difficult time in my life. May God bless you all with the most wonderful blessings He desires for you. I will be here for any of you who need my love and support for any reason down the road. I am very grateful to have you all as friends.
Hugs,
Rhonda
