My father died three weeks ago. My mom has been in and out of the hospital/rehab facilities since January with heart failure/massive heart attack. They are sending her back to her house today that she shared with my dad. She is in denial about her health and will not allow the proper, doctor-recommended support to be put in place. She will not allow the oxygen support they recommend either. She won't allow overnight help. She isn't supposed to live alone or in the house with stairs. I am trying hard to let go, realizing this is her life, but I feel completely powerless. This is not what my dad would have ever wanted for her either. I have been her and my dad's caretaker for decades now. She is of sound mind, according to the social worker that sees her briefly in the facility, when she is all dressed up. But I know differently. My head is in constant motion trying to figure out how to help her, but realizing I am only hurting myself in the process. I have a sibling who just came on the scene 8 weeks ago, putting all kinds of new (shiny and unrealistic) ideas in her head. She doesn't know mom and mom only shows her what she wants her to see. Lots of games. My sibling will not work with me on my moms care. I have been shut out. The pain is immeasurable. But I need the strength to let go. My husband and kids need me. My health and life needs my attention. But my mind is constantly worried about her. I did start grief therapy two weeks ago but sessions are short and not as helpful as I'd hoped. Please pray for guidance, wisdom on my Christian walk. I am surrendering to God's will and doing my best to be a faithful servant. With kindness and love for your prayers….
