AN ENIGMATIC AND POIGNANT JOURNEY AROUND MY AGEING AND EVOLVING MOTHER! PART 87.

The reassurance I have given to my dear mother is this. That, despite her fears and her complaints about the misery this supposed knocking and ringing of her door bell is causing her. 

Every morning she has woken up, or, if you like, find herself safe and well. 

Never has she come to any harm from these reputed nocturnal events. I have implored my dear mother to be fortified by this fact; the fact of her finding herself to be well, even if tired, each morning. 

And if she is not going to be pacified by this reality, then the only two options open to her are those of paying for a carer to be with her during her nights, or move into a care home. 

The latter meaning that she would lose much or most of her independence and her belongings. 

Now, it is the case that my dear mother does not want to go into a nursing home, which, ipso facto, rules out the second option. 

Something which provides me, and, yes, her, with a bit more time. Not least because, for the time being, my dear mother has not been complaining of the 'usual nocturnal' occurrences of recent.

But as is the case with the circumstances surrounding my dear mother, calmness and the absence of problems, seemingly difficult to resolved problems is the exception, and not the rule.
