Lil, Thanks for asking about my father. We moved him ( and my mother) to an assisted living less than 10 minutes from my brother's home. I am grateful for my brother's support ( emotionally, he had been MIA for a long time) as I really wasn't holding up to all the ups and downs, and he's been coming through big time.
It's been the ultimate life challenge for me to let go of the one person in this world I trust, while attempting to rebuild the trust and intimacy in my marriage ( or perhaps really building it for the first time).
A day at a time, and baby steps... right,Corri?
I am sorry to hear about your bf's mother...I know he will be greatly impacted, and he is fortunate to have as empathic a partner as you for support. Oh, BTW Lil, we need to stock up on the extra soft tissues, you know, the ones with aloe, and they need to come in a pretty box, maybe pink or purple, and maybe we also need an endless supply of hot chocolate with marshmallows, and some fuzzy slippers, too. It's going to be a long winter, but hey, Life, bring it on!
