Yet Again.. Prayers Needed

[Murphy]

So.. going to pervade on you guys yet again for some prayers. Mom did get moved to her retirement residence.. In spite of the fact that one day she likes it and the next she accuses me of forcing her into jail... it is so lovely... Getting this done felt like a marathon that was never ending. Today there are a few pictures left to put up and she decided they would go in the garbage.

But her health is now at great risk.... which is in part of why I wanted so badly for her to get out of the house and be safe. Tomorrow she has an appointment with an oncologist. I already know that the prognosis is not good but have tried to soften what they will tell her.. Hope is not a bad thing and I want her to have some. Even though she hates me some days...

Other members of my family have fallen ill. I won't go into details but it has all been very difficult.

So more doom and gloom from me. I think GAD better ban me..

Still.. I continue to lean on you in these trying times... And though have used up so many of your prayers... never take for granted your thoughtful and sincere caring.

I wish my Murphy were here..

I am so sorry you are going through all of this...you have been through enough the last few years...as they say, this too shall pass...just wish it would hurry up and get over for a few of us...LOL. Murphy is watching over you still I am sure of that!!

Yes, Jen, this too will pass, but it doesn't mean you have to enjoy it. Sadly our oldsters do take turns loving and hating us....try not to take it personally and take lots of deep breaths. I don't know if it would help, but you might envision Murphy resting his big head in your arms...I'm sure he's still with you too.

Yes, these volatile emotions are so common with the oldsters. You are a wonderful person and a sterling daughter. I am so sorry this part of the journey is so ragged. Murphy is with you. I know you miss his corporal presence, but I know he is with you. I will be praying for all of you and thinking tons of positive, healing thoughts. Be gentle with yourself, Jen. You are doing all you or anyone possibly could.

I am sure Murphy is watching over you, but i also know that is just not the same. Prayers for your Mum..........I hope that she will eventually understand you have her best interest at heart :hugs: :tequila:

I'm sorry if Nana's anger and frustration are aimed at you right now. Family members always get the brunt of it. But remember, as long as she has some fight left in her, she is better off than if she just gives up.

Nana - you behave yourself. All of us at NN are praying for you and we do know that it's not easy for you right now. We love you all the same, even when you're upset, and we want you to have the best care possible. So just play along and know that everything that is being done, is out of love for the best Nana ever.

Taking care of my mom in her last years was the hardest job I've ever had. You are doing the right thing, even if she doesn't always realize that. I'll pray for you and Nana.
