i am so worn out. 3-26-21 marks 2 full weeks that my mother has been in assisted living. I am emotionally worn out. My dog is slowly adjusting to my mother not being in the house. my adjustment to it is coming slower. I have yet to come to complete terms with it. Everything they say about what a person feels when they move a loved one into assisted living is absolutely true. I cannot properly explain the amount of guilt <could I have done more? should I have done more? did putting her there mean I betrayed her?> or the grief that comes along with it. I said before and I mean it: cherish the little things you do with your loved ones. The time will come when you cannot do those things again. Go for a ride with them just because? Watch that silly movie you love to watch with them? Or just being able to hear them or hug them. Cherish it. Cherish it ALL.

Its been rough. Its not been pleasant or easy. First my best friend died in august of 2020 then a few months later I had to deal with putting my mother into that home… the worst part was having to handle it all essentially alone. Sure my dad has done the heavy lifting in terms of the business side of my mothers stuff, but even 14 months later im still essentially alone. And still trying to wrap my head around any of it. Only 5 people (1 actual family member, my moms brother and 4 non family members) have bothered to keep tabs on me or ask how im doing. I could go on but id rather not publicly be captain bring down lol. Appreciate the socially distant hug!
