"Tough Love" is not just for teenagers, as we learned as the sandwich generation here at our house. It was a very carefully thought out decision to finally insist that my in-laws leave their home and move to an assisted living facility, with a dementia unit for MIL. And it took a good month for her to settle down there - the staff asked that we not have any contact with her during that time, so that she could re-pattern what memory she was able to grab. It sounds like you are at the same place we were, concerned about her safety. I'm sure that you have gotten good advice about what to do next; I send you courage to make those difficult decisions on Sheryl's behalf. and Marge...please keep writing about this in your blog....don't keep this bottled up inside...find at least one thing each day that brings you some joy, even a tiny bit.<br /><br />Hugs<br />Liz in CTLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870643867880538539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9243191.post-7082156210169800692009-06-03T16:36:49.067-04:002009-06-03T16:36:49.067-04:00Hi Marge,

Their short term memory is basically gone and no matter how many times you tell them something they just don't remember. They act like they never heard it before. I will keep you and John in my prayers, I know what a difficult time and decision you are facing. <br /><br />CathieUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17509946315657753991noreply@blogger.com
