  1. I need prayers, light, positive vibes and the odd miracle if one's going spare - for Mum tomorrow - she's spending the day at the home I've earmarked for her, and has worked herself up into such a state about it all, I honestly have no idea how it's all going to go - and it HAS to go well...

  3. MCW...Positive Hugs & Prayers that she like the home. She must know deep down that it's the best choice for all around.

  4. MCW...God Bless you and Mum...Remember to breathe deep and maintain the calm you wish for her. In time, if not now she will discover change is not always a bad thing. Sometimes it takes awhile. Keep the faith.

  6. Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. My grandmother really resisted going to live in a retirement home. Once she got there, she thought it was great! (No more cooking for herself, having to clean a house, etc.) Change is always hard, though - I'm sure Mum is scared right now.

  7. Thanks guys - yes, Mum is scared, not so much of the actual change, but of the process of getting there. And unfortunately, when Mum gets so worked up, everyday life just stops, full stop.

  8. Positive thoughts for your Mum... and strength to you MCW !

  9. MCW - I will pray that you mum falls in love with something about the new home tomorrow. One positive aspect may be enough to erase some of the fear of this big change. Will be thinking about you tomorrow as you pursue this "HAS to go well" adventure with your mum.

  10. It may be difficult for your mum at first, but I am guessing that she will actually make friends with some of the folks at the home and be just fine with it. My uncle went into a home about a year ago. He was determined to leave it. He is now quite content with this home and even has a girlfriend!

    Be strong, MCW. You can't make her stop worrying, but you can be supportive and firm at the same time. You are in my prayers. Let us know how it goes.

  11. MCW, you are in my prayers. I understand how difficult this must be. Personally, I hate change too! Can't imagine how it would feel to be in your mum's position. Hang in there sweetie, and let us know how she does.

    Love,

  12. MCW - Sending lots of positive energy, purrs and hugs to you and your mum! I wish there was something more I could to do help.

  13. mcw, I, too, am sending positive energy for you and your mum. Hope everything goes well, and even if she seems angry and resentful, this will pass, and when she accepts things she will make lots of friends and eventually be happy there.
    Stay firm, and keep the faith. I am with you in spirit.
    Peace, hugs and purrs.

  17. Hi everybody - see today's blog for the update on how today went - not bad, considering would be the executive summary. Thanks you for all the good vibes, and postitive thoughts and prayers, if you could possibly keep them up for the next couple of days we have have some news to celebrate...

    Oh, and Linda - thanks for the good luck e-card! :-)

  18. ok...some good, some not so much. Crossing fingers and toes for you and your Mum...(my pleasure...wasn't sure it would go thru!)

  19. Good luck MCW. I hope that she decides that it will be a good move. My husbands grandmother last Christmas announced to the family that she was taking herself off to an assisted living facility. All her own idea and she loves it there. She is busier than ever and likes the fact that she can walk to church and never step a foot outside. She can even provide them with her holiday recipes and pay the catering side of their food services department to bake her holiday pies so that no one misses out. My mother is a volunteer at that facility and has decided that when the time comes that she needs more care that she wouldn't mind going there herself.

  24. Good luck and prayers that all goes well. It's very hard for someone to give up some of her independence. My heart goes out to Mom. May she find positive energy and many friends there!

  28. She's decided, she will go to the home. I can't feel triumphant, because it is such a huge thing for her to do, but I can feel relieved - it really was the only sensible option.

    Now the really hard work begins...

  29. Sounds like good news though, Christmas present for you a little early?

    Posted 4 years ago by MerD #

  30. That is wonderful news, MCW. One more big step out of the way!! How soon will she make the move?
