My mom has been lingering for quite awhile after many strokes, I am not even sure how much she is aware of anymore, I have spent many hours trying to talk to her and ease whatI think may be fears and tell her that I will be ok, I have come to the point where I have stopped torturing myself about this and accepted that she is still a strong and healthy woman despite multiple strokes and her health is well maintained by the nursing home staff. It helped me to stop thinking and interpreting her stares and looks, kiss her and hold her and wait until her body stops working. Find people to talk to, maybe a counselor or clergy who can help with the wait, I know it hurts and I am there with you.....I hope this was helpful.
