hopefully, if such will be my fate, i will have the wherewithal to not let them catch me.
Don't be too hard on yourself. This is not an easy situation to have to go through. I know. Dh and I are/were in the business and it was still difficult caring for his parents. You do the best you can. Just know that your mother was safe, clean and well cared for. She was not left to wander the streets dirty and sick or removed from a filthy house that was falling down around her. That stuff does happen. In all my years as a nurse in long term care I have jet to see anyone move in happy. The first six months are doozies but then things settle in...most of the time.
