Bummer…I went through that with my mother 20 years ago…while sad, it certainly was a blessing and glad that part of my life was over…

Here’s a really good read…it’ll help you understand what’s happening and hopefully give you peace of mind…

Thanks.  Yeah we understand the process very well.. We just lived it with Bro.. here in the house.  I am experienced.. the one you never want  to be experienced.

A big fear is that Mom will make a career of hospice and break Jimmy Carter's record.  We want to do it in a "home" for her (she thinks she is in a permanent hotel) but the DIY could last a super long time.

Given the situation, I have decided to pursue part time hopefully mobile remote work and not break the cieling for the next three years.  I wanted to go back full time, but given the situation, that's not going to be the best solution.

500$ to fly one way..  4 hr total travel including drive to airport (SBY to SAV direct.. it's a new flight) or 250$ by train from BWI and 18 hours total.. Mrs is also on board and we are aligned we have to step up to the plate because her care takers aren't. The drive is 10 hours and only 160$ at 4$ a gallon in my truck, but man I just drove for three hours at a time on this trip and that is nerve working..   I used to be able to go 12 hours behind a wheel with no problem.
