You All make me sick to death. I wish Nothing but the worse for you.
She was a Wiccan and so I understand 3 fold, I just want this to end.
For HER and myself, It's ******* HARD to watch her slowly fade away.
I can't try and remember her anymore.
How do I care for others, when I'm wiping her *** and changing her underwear?
This is more of a vent.

Look toward finding her an assistant caregiver. Don’t take on the task yourself. Sometimes it can be too daunting, I know from experience. Also in some states you might qualify as a caregiver and be qualified for payments from the state of up to $3000 a month or more.

Hang in there, nothing lasts forever. Been there done that. My wife & I took care of my grandma for years after she had a stroke. She couldn't walk or talk, only see & make groans when uncomfortable. She raised me so she was like my own mother who died when I was a baby. I feel you believe me. It is NOT easy. Be patient, look @ it this way, what if SHE was taking care of you? I'm pretty sure she would manage somehow because you are her child & loved. We had other family members take care of different chores to give us a break now & then. The health dept. checked on her once a month for pressure & other things. I know it's hard but PLEASE don't let your emotions overcome your care for her. She is your mom after all. Taking some time for yourself occasionally is important to preserve your sanity. Don't forget she used to wipe your butt & change your underwear too @ one time. All you can do is make her comfortable & be there for her the best way you can. You also need rest which will help you to make reasonable decisions. Maybe if she is old enough for Medicare, they can help you make decisions about what is best for her. Please be safe & kind. mo. Rkl

That is a sad story.
You can find a caregiver or someone else.

that sounds messed up.

Sounds like you are not the one who should be caring for her. Explore alternatives.
