I do not regret one moment of moving my mom in with me and having her last few years with me. I agree some times were very hard dealing with her Alzheimer's disease, however, family and friends can give you the breaks you need. There are also many home care/assistance companies out there to help. Remember, you need to take care of yourself to be there for them. They gave years of time for you, you can make time for them. You never get a second chance.

What a beautiful lady your Mom is and God Bless you for caring for your Mom. I hope you get to cherish every moment.
You're right, there are no second chances. I took care care of my Mom until I couldn't any longer but I had no family support. Sadly my Mom passed a month ago. What I wouldn't give to turn back the clock if not for a few more moments.
Thank you for sharing your story. Keeper
It is also important to go to support meetings to learn how you can cope with specific problems. Education on the subject can make things so much easier. (God bless you dear for caring for your Mom so diligently.)
