Dear Heavyload, I would like to tell you a saying that someone told me a couple of years ago that has really helped me: "If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got."
...Read MoreDear Heavyload, I would like to tell you a saying that someone told me a couple of years ago that has really helped me: "If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got." I really think Bittersweet's comments were right on, i.e., "there is no easy way to ask a mother to leave." However, if you start the process slowly by getting her involved with others her age, either at a Senior Center or a local church, she may make the decision on her own to leave. Also, if you have a Pastor, seek his advice as sometimes they have resources which others are not aware. If she can afford it, maybe she could move to a Senior Apartment complex where they have assistance 24-seven IF they need it. (One in our town is named Lutheran Towers where they have their own small apartment, meals delivered to their door if they want it or they can make their own food in their kitchen, and access to an R.N. anytime of the day or night. That way she could be independent but still have help if she needs it. She would also meet other women and men her age which would keep her busy. Also ask God for wisdom in this matter--he can always help you.
