Desperately Need Guidance

[sealightbreeze]

I am in Desperate need of a lot of guidance right now. My mom is diabetic, and wheel-chair bound. She can not walk at all, and is having a lot of problems maintaining a healthy blood sugar level.

This weekend, my mom has been in the hospital twice already. The first time, because she was talking to the floor, passing out etc. Yesterday, we had to take her back in, because she kept passing out and not waking up.

So, yesterday, my brother and sister and I decided it is probably time for mom to go into a nursing home. As, we can no longer totally take care of her

The thing is, is today, I feel totally different. I have always had my mom around. And, I feel it unfair to her, to be put into a home. Although, I know the time has come, or is coming when we need to do so. I am unsure of what to do.

I want the Lord's will to be done, not mine. I keep praying for guidance on what to do. But, nothing comes to me. :embarasse

Hi sister Sealightbreeze.

Keep praying, be patient and I'm sure God will give you an answer soon. Remember, we can't rush God and His timing is not the same as hours.

2 Peter 3:8 NKJV
But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

God bless
Much love
Faithful Son

Thank you. I decided that it is best to put her into one. But, I feel so bad and guilty about it. It made my mom cry. I hate to see her hurt. But, I know that keeping her at home would hurt her more. I guess I am just being selfish. It is hard, and it hurts a lot. How do you know if you make the correct choices?

Father God I come to You now in Jesus name to pray for Sealightbreeze and her family. God You now the burdens that they are under. The health of their mother is failing and they need You to intervene. I'm reminded of the centurian who asked Jesus to speak the Word and it'll be done. What faith he had. What revelation he had of who Jesus truely is. Lord that's what we're asking here. Speak Your Word INTO this situation. I pray that this family walk in Your guidance. In Jesus name, AMEN

Hi sister, I'm sure this decision is hard, however I was wondering if you looked at alternatives to Nursing Home Care, I know PACE ( Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly ) offer persons to remain at home and receive medical and social services.


I know God will direct you and your family, on this situation. I will be praying for you, and especially your mom. This is probably very emotional for her.

God bless you, sister.

 

[sealightbreeze]

Thank you so much for the prayers. I did not know of PACe. I will look into it right away. We do not want mom in a home, but we can't take care of her. If we put her into a home, it would need to be a state home, as we can not afford a home otherwise.

God, ask and pray for guidance. Please Lord, help me make the right choice. Amen

Stephen, Thank you. God Bless you

 

[sealightbreeze]

I am still confused, and feeling bad. Although I know it is the right choice

 

[Love my Lord]

My heart really goes out to you. Its never easy to make that choice. I cared for my mother in law for 3 years until I could no longer do it. She is a diabetic and has had two strokes. It's so hard to see someone you love get in that shape. Her mind is also going. She started to get mean with myself and the kids. I felt so guilty for not being able to handle her anymore. It takes a lot of prayer and tears to get through this, but you do get through. I will keep you in my prayers.Just know that God is in control He loves your mom more than you do He knows whats best for her and you.

 

[sealightbreeze]

Thank you, Love my Lord. I know, that it is the best thing to do- not for me, but for my mom. But, it just hurts so much. I would rather have her someplace safe, where she can have the constant care that I know she now needs.

But, it is hard. I am going to miss her so much. I have always had my mom right there. I know, that the feelings I have, are selfish. But, she is not even gone yet, and all I want to do is cry every day

ohhhh

You said earlier that the decision made your mom cry?

Oh, that makes me wanna cry. So sad. I can tell she must be broken about it. You as well.

Deepest apologies.

Trust God. He knows best. He'll take care of your mama And I know you'll always be able to see her, no matter where she goes.

Sealightbreeze,

your mum being somewhere safe where she can be cared for and have her needs tended to is not going to stop you loving her.
Likewise there is nothing stopping you from continuing to be a blessed daughter to this fortunate mother.

How blessed she is to have you and your great love and concern.

Bless you,

Br. Bear
