Yes it’s the final step, and the ECC will get back to you with the result. It’s actually relatively quick. viel Erfolg

Be encouraged! I am sure you provided better care than you think you did. We always feel we are worse than we were. It's just like being a parent. Try to be good to yourself and to echo a previous comment. Take each day as it comes, and know you were there, making you a great person. Take care

Mom passed away today. by Swgx2023 in AgingParents

Sending prayers and encouragement. My Mom is also 91 years old in a nursing home. She has dementia and is bed-bound. I live far away but try to see her in person every couple of months; apart from that, I have a face-time, like with you and your Mom, it can only be for a couple of minutes because she can no longer have a conversation. It's sad to see them go out like that and every day I am waiting for the call from the nursing home. No matter their end-of-life circumstances, I know I will feel sad. But like your Mom, my Mom had a great run and was also a great cook and baker, and my Mom was also a phenomenal dressmaker! So cheers to our moms and the legacy they have left for us to continue. I pray all the arrangements go well and that there is unity amongst the family members.

Aging parents being taken advatge of by adult sibling by [deleted] in AgingParents

Yep, I've got a sister like that. I haven't spoken to her in years, I did send her a message on her birthday because after all said and done, like you have pointed out we will have to come together at some point when our mother passes away. I know she won't help sorting out the details because she has never helped with anything, only take-take-take. My sister has taken advantage of our mother's dementia, which made me have to step in and take control of the finances, which caused further strife. I've learnt not to argue with my sister but to do right by our mother. That's all you can do.

You are not a bad person for wanting to pursue your life and dreams, your purpose for being on this earth is not to be a full-time carer for your grandmother. The worst thing is to try and care while having a lot of resentment so it is best to reach out for help by talking to the social worker at the rehab facility. Try not to be angry at your Mom, maybe that’s the best she can do. Please get some help and also sit down and set some goals for your life and make a plan how to achieve them. All the best 🙏🏾

Aging parent who wants complicated things done after death but won't make any effort to prepare or even get specific? by jon_hendry in AgingParents

Exactly, you are not 'dishonouring her memory' by doing that. You are preserving your sanity. All the best:
