T & P Please!!
My wonderful mother is at the end of her life. :-(( She has had a long (not always happy) life, has outlived her siblings and most of her friends. My sisters and I love her to pieces; she is getting the best care my sister can manage. I returned from there two days ago, having spent a week taking care of Mom myself, knowing as I left that it would be the last time. I just got word that Hospice started today - it was definitely time to call them in. We've known for a few months that Mom won't be here much longer. Even with the mutual support of my sisters and several cousins, this is not easy to face. I know some of you know how I feel.
Some of you also recall from my posts last month that Mom's estranged DH is a major azzhat, and while her funeral (it will be in Michigan) is arranged, we expect a lot of conflict. If we could keep him away, we would. Since they never separated legally, never mind divorced, we can't and he will grandstand and publically play the bereaved and wronged mate. But this creep made her last years more miserable than they should be (financial and emotional abuse) and it infuriates me that he is getting away with unethical yet barely legal manipulations so we can do nothing. (I've talked to several attorneys in two states.)
Please just keep us in your prayers.
