Who takes care of someone who has no children, siblings or relatives to help out. I think that the care you are giving your mother will be rewarding for you. Gladys was an only child and she took care of her mother until her death. Gladys was rewarded with me and my family. I hope your mom can stay with you and out of a nursing home as long as possible.

I'm childless by choice and my Mom's caregiver. I will try to maintain my independence as long as possible. With Mom, she was fiercely independent before the Dementia majorly affected her brain. I know, that when the time comes, I may have to put her into a nursinghome. I'm on a permanent 10lb. wt. limit. When she falls, I have her roll over on her hands and knees and she pulls herself up, using sturdy furniture. I'm not able to pull her up. If I try, I am in massive pain for days afterwards. I hope you're blessed by helping Gladys. I hope that I have friends like you when I get old. I’m childless by choice and my Mom’s caregiver.
