ok,now that Mom is in an adult home, I still seem to be struggling with a different issue each week. this latest one is how long "should" I be staying when I visit,which is about every other day. I try to stay about an hour and a half and she just almost begs me not to leave. kills me. if I stay a shorter time, it's the same. it seems very hard for me to sit there and try to make any conversation because her memory is so poor that she's not remembering the short term things at all and now the longer term things either. but for me to interact with any of the other residents to pass the time really agitates her. maybe this stuff is really just end of life issues, she's 101 but I would love some feedback.
