Heavenly Father, we lift up this family to You with humble hearts. You see the confusion, the pain, and the exhaustion they are facing as they try to care for their mother. You know her struggles, her declining health, her volatility, and the emotional weight that has fallen on everyone. Lord, bring clarity where there is denial, peace where there is chaos, and strength where there is weakness. Help the father and the brother to see the truth with compassion and courage, and guide them toward the decisions that will bring safety and care for their mother.
Father, comfort PurpleKat, who is tired, hurting, and feeling unheard. Cover them with Your protection and fill them with Your wisdom and calm. Bring healing to this home, soften every heart, and let Your peace settle over every conversation and decision. We ask that Your will be done in this situation, and that Your love be the anchor that holds them all together. Amen.
Hoping for breakthroughs soon
Dad getting frustrated but makes no move tho i try to convince him nicely, its obvious to me, he always avoided anything hard,tho he says and admits shes out of contact with reality, praying new doctors are next, well some new doctors,
Well mom has been in our local hospital for a few days, then to shirt term psychiatric hospitial but shes not better, praying she wont return home, now theres talk of a long term facility 30 days, in the long run it will likely be a nursing home, at times my dad and brother chalked up her behavior to typical aging and dad thinks her behavior will imprive,..not anything with dimentia, or old age, dad hoped hed not have to look at assisted living or nursing home for 2 or 3 years but he may have to, but home isnt the place
Mom.now refusing to leave the hoyse, she needs doctor appoints, we need respite care, maybe home health aisedads odten scared to stand up to het, we need assisted living and likely a nursing hime for for her, praying this wont continue, ,dad wants to do sime of this stuff then doesnt, cause she puts up a fight, often she requires prompting, usually from an unrelatedperson,dad says ill end up down grading my life style
Mom also blames othets for her problems tebds to msnipulate and blsme and wont admit mistakes, she deflrcts blame and talks her way out of it
I’m so sorry to hear that things are getting more difficult with your mom. Caring for a parent in a hard season can be exhausting emotionally, physically, and spiritually, and God sees every tear and every effort you’re making.
I’m praying that the Lord will give you renewed strength, wisdom in each decision, and a deep sense of His presence right in the middle of this situation. May He surround your mom with peace and comfort, and surround you with the support you need so you don’t feel alone in this.
