My mother-in-law has advanced senility, and very bad memory issues.
She has friends at the facility she is at, and people treat her very nicely, but within 3 minutes she has forgotten all this and feels lonely, isolated and unloved.
We cannot go to see her as the facility is on lock down, and she calls and begs us to take her out, but we cannot. We talk to her till she calms down, then she forgets everything we said, and feels alone again, and calls again.
Some days she will call 30 times while we are out shopping.
I love my mother-in-law, but she is placing a huge emotional toll on my wife, who wants to serve her mother and uplift her. But it is hard, and sometimes she will cry for ten or fifteen minutes after haning up from a conversation with her mom.
Please pray for my mother-in-law and my wife. My wife has some heavy and painful burdens on her right now.
thank you.
