Today, I've had to pick up my naked dying mother off the floor 3 times in less than an hour because she can't remember that she's too weak to walk. Fml

I'm a home healthcare worker and I can't count the number of times I've found an elderly client lying on the floor because they tried to walk and either forgot/ignored the fact that they can't walk unaided. It's sad that they no longer have their independence, but at least they still have the balls to give it a try even though they know they'll fall down every time!!

I'm sorry to hear that.... but why is she naked?

I've had to do that before with my mom. When she would fall and she would fall out of bed. I'm sorry OP.

I'm not speaking for OP but we just went through hospice and death with my 94 year old grandmother in June and she was naked for comfort and ease of care without moving her too much. We just used blankets to keep her warm. She didn't try to run though.

Hope you have help coming in OP. Hang in there. It may seem like an FML now but it will add a little levity when you recount the experience down the road. I have made this journey with a few loved ones. You appreciate the silly with the loss. Mom sounds like a tough lady.

That makes me so sad. :( I can't even begin to imagine how difficult this is for you.
