I don't but I so admire anyone who does. I don't think they get enough help though. |

Very difficult. does she think she could care for her Mum if Mum was able to go to Spain. Would she want really her Mum with her much as she loves her!!. What a dilemma to be in |

A friend is in the awful position of finding that her mother is unable to care for herself, she is 87. Such a shame it has happened at a time when my friend and her husband have sold there large house, downsized, and bought a beautiful villa in Spain, the idea was to live there for a few months then come home for a few weeks, She has someone who looks in on her Mum 4 times a week, and a friend calls in. My friend phones twice a day too. Just as they have moved, to Spain only last week, for a few months, her Mother has become unwell and looks like she will need looking after. My friend has planned this move for a few years now, she is in her 60's but her husband in his 70's, she feels that, she is torn between her new life and returning home, although her husband is very supportive, but she thinks he isn't getting any younger either. To care for someone is a very hard job, and it seems a lot of the time it comes down on just one person to do all the caring. How do you cope? |
