[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My siblings and I and our adult kids all pitched in to take care of our mom at the end. We had an aide 8-4 M-F but we did the rest. It was not a burden or a nightmare, it was a privilege. I don't know why you don't want to expose your kids to the normal ageing and dying process, they've already seen a lot of it. It won't hurt them to see the rest.[/quote] Really? Was she incontinent? Did you have to change diapers? Was she able to get in a shower? Or was she unstable so cleaning required a sponge bath? Did you worry about properly cleaning her genitals and buttom to ensure everything was clean, to prevent infections? Could she support her own weight during the process or did it require two people?[/quote]
