Moving in with parents

I'm very sorry for the sad news you've received :(  I can't imagine, it must be very overwhelming to think of all the things that need done now.  How far are you away from your parent's house?  Have you thought about having your mom in your house when she needs to be cared for?  It may help her spirits to be "out" too.  Plus preparing their home for your family wouldn't be an issue and the question of selling your home wouldn't be an issue.

Gosh, that's a really tough situation.  I wish I had some answers for you, but like you said, there are alot of variables.  Good luck with your decisions, and I'll say a prayer for your mom and your family.

I don't even know how to put a subject on this one! My mom spent some time here a few weeks ago before going back to the hospital and it worked out alright. She's VERY attached to her home and I know that the rest of her time would be more enjoyable for her there. My parents have already said that as long as my dad can keep living there, the house can be ours when my mom's gone. Of course when they said that it was supposed to be years from now, not months. This is not meant to sound insensitive but if it's only a matter of months, I'll be fine. The bigger picture is more important. If we're looking at years, I'm not sure... I may just call my doctor and see if she can prescribe some anti-nerve meds!

I am sorry to hear your mom is soo sick No I haven't had to move in with my mom with a family of my own yet but I am young and my mother is young that day may come one day. I wish you the best of luck.

Take a deep breath and breethe. Take it a day at a time. Have a heart to heart conversation with your parents. Do you intend on taking the house as it was intended for you to have after you mom has passed on if your dad were to live in it with you ? I guess that is a big question. Don't leap into anything. In 97 my mom passed away in Jan., my grandmother in feb. and my mother in law the day after we burried my grandmother and then the next feb. my other grandmother. It can bring many challenges but look at every day for what it is worth at that time. My mom struggled with cancer for many years and the last bout was hard to deal with as an adult myself(all other times I was a kid). Do what you need to do to make her life the best it can be the last months. If she is still at the point that she can do things, do what you can with her, talk, eat, go enjoy nature and a movie together if possible. Gather all the information you can from your mom about her life, your life, your families history and tuck it away in a special spot. Know your mom inside and out the best way you can.

May God guide you in your journey, it can be hard and he will carry you in your time of need.

God Bless you, your mom and family. Being a caregiver to a sick parent is hard but you are needed now.
