I hope Sarah is okay too.
My Mom died on Sunday, which by then was a relief. But my father can't process anything because he can't remember if she is alive or dead. I'm drowning in paperwork related to dealing with death and trying to arrange a funeral and my father's upcoming move to memory care. At least things are moving towards some goals. But it's all so heartbreaking.
I feel guilty that all I can think about is returning home. I am currently only there on the weekends when my brother takes over. I miss my husband and my own space. I know moving my father is the right thing to do; he'll be safe with people who can be infinitely patient with him, but it's hard since the last thing my mother said was not to put him in a memory care unit. Once he's moved to that unit, we must deal with their two-bedroom apartment and its contents.
But the worst thing is not being able to grieve my mother because when I cry or act upset, my father does not respond rationally. I cry at night mostly.
Sorry for the ramble, but hopefully, I'll be home soon and can return to normalcy, whatever that is.
I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the fall weather. Take care of yourselves.

I’m so sorry Gill. Losing your mom is so crushing, and to be relieved about it is understandable, though I’m sure it will stir up some guilt. Don’t worry it get to you, dear. If you want to reach out, feel so free - Lord knows I’ve shared my troubles with you. Peace to your Mom, and to your Dad, and most of all to you. My heart goes out to you.

Nothing new here. Mets lost big. Therapy today.

I hope Cora is okay, haven’t seen her in a bit.

Coffee and a cookie, if there are any left.
