Hi Jennie,
As days go, today was a heart breaker. My visits to grandma are now often difficult. She is now 92 and so much needs to be done and often I don't know how to handle it all or even where to begin. In days now past, my visits were filled with visits to the pharmacy, post office, grocery store, clothing store and lunch. Those days are gone now. My mom has given up on life and tells me she is ready to go. I'm thinking go to heaven? She spends her days in bed and is no longer interested in food or activities. 
Jennie Love life is short and I am grateful that I have the opportunity to show my mom compassion and love in her old age. I just wish I knew where to get some help sometimes. I will be making lots of phone calls on Monday. My cold this week really slowed me down and it is time to get going. I've heard of senior helpers and meals on wheels. My mom lives alone and likes her independence but I now realize that she no longer can do it alone even with my help. Many families have had to deal with these aging issues but the first time is always difficult. This is the first time for me. My girls are coming on the 28th to visit with grandma. God bless them! I'm looking forward to their visit and I'm hoping that it will inspire my mom to go on living.
