Not an Easy Day in 2015

Today was a very hard day. We went to Walmart with Sis and then home to Mom’s. Felt really weird though because we didn’t buy any groceries for Mom. Monday is move day and she needed no groceries. Betty has been sick so she didn’t go in for long and the time she was inside she wore a mask. She had a eye doctors appointment anyhow so off she went. We would be coming home with CJ as Robert and Heather’s car is still in the shop and not repaired. So we are just sitting enjoying our time and in comes my brother with sister in law and along with niece. He was planning on coming in tomorrow but was unable to so he came in today instead. He had to work tonight and so couldn’t stay long but wanted to come in and attempt to put some clothes together that Mom needed and pack a bit. So we found the suitcases and I helped to put together the suitcases with some clothes. He also plans to take some pictures that she will want to sit around as well as a dresser and her recliner. But Mom isn’t happy and even though she knows this needs to happen she is fighting it with all she has which in turn is causing pain and hurt feelings at times. My brother being a therapist for people who overdose and such at the hospitals is a bit abrupt at times and wanting to get it done now not later quick not slow. And this of course causes him to get abrupt. Mom said it’s her home and she doesn’t want it sold and she wants to die there which in turn had not a dry eye in the house. I cried all the way home once I got home I cried some more and then I swept the entire house twice and picked up Bobby’s toys straightened up the kitchen and just did everything I could to keep busy. I couldn’t allow anyone to touch me and still can’t if they do I will break down.

its quite understandable your mum is resisting the move......at her age she feels she is losing her security ( and leaving many memories behind) ...not easy. I hope it all goes well. Be patient with her as it will take time to resettle also. hugs p

I am so so sorry you and your family are going through this. Seeing our parents or kids hurt is horrible. I am keeping you and your family in my prayers. I pray too that once she gets settled she will like it much better than she is thinking now. Hugs!

so sorry you are having to deal with this now when you don't feel so good. hopefully once she gets adjusted she'll accept living there. i imagine she feels like if she goes there she'll lose all sense of self and belonging somewhere. might be good for you if you were to let loose and cry it all out. crying can make you feel better. take care,
