Late last year, her and my stepdad relocated to another state in hopes of getting her better care. After moving it was discovered that my mom has dementia and it continues to get worse. Which, prompted her relocation to a nursing home. A couple days ago I was informed that she is now in stage 5 kidney & heart failure. As a result, hospice is already trying to keep her comfortable. Most people at stage die within a year. I'm being told 5-7 months for her.
This is killing me because we haven't been together in the same room since I left Arkansas 8 years ago. Circumstances just didn't allow it. We fought a lot in my teen years. But when you boiled it all down, we were close. I haven't been able to talk to her in months. At this point I need closure. I need her in a frame of mind to know she loves me and to be able to express my love to her. I wouldn't be able to stand seeing her in the weakened state. I'm 90% sure the next time I see her will be in a casket.
Without going into too many specifics, as of right now finances will be an issue when the time comes. I even opened up my PayPal up for donations because the idea of cremation seems wrong to me. All this weighs on my mind. If you guys could cover these needs in prayer, it'd be greatly appreciated.
