Stop in for a cup of coffee

Today is a bittersweet day for my family. It is hard to watch our parents grow old and pass away. But for me it is even harder to watch their mind deteriorate to the point where simple tasks become life threatening. To keep our mom safe we placed her in Valley View nursing home in Belleville. When we delivered her to her new home we felt she will be well taken care of but at the same time it was hard to leave her there knowing our visits may not happen with all the covid restrictions. For those dealing with the same family challenges I wish God's peace in your lives. It is hard but for us as a family we felt it necessary. God Bless!

I completely feel what you are facing. We had to put my Dad in a care facility back in late 2012. He moved through increasing levels of care required until he passed at the end of 2018.

It was hard to watch the progressive deterioration, but we held firm and did what he needed most to care for him. Doing the right thing for the right reasons can be hard...but it will always be right.

My thoughts are with you. Stay strong.
