When do I stop worry about mum?

I take care of mum by :

- Having care plan meetings with the staff at bupa. Which includes talk about all aspects of mum's health plus normal daily living.

- Making sure she has clothes the right size. With the help of bupa and public trustee.

- Make sure I try and visit up to 3 times a week. Since I have 3 children under 7 it's hard to get out there daily, like I want.

- Try to turn up for all her events/parties out at bupa which Mum is involved with.

- Make sure her room is beautiful and cheerful and keeps her brain stimulated.

- Make sure there a things out there for the nurse to interacts with mum. Visitors book, communication book, poster board and family tree.

- Talk to any specialist when needed or go with her to her appointments.

- Read to mum Danielle steel book, which are her favourite books.

- Have a good chat with mum and tell her what is happening in our lives.

- Clean out her wardrobe and tidy her room when needed.

- Feed mum when I go to visit, if at meal/snack times.

- Attend exercise class when I can get in there.

 

I know it's my job as her daughter to be there for her and do anything she needs me to do. But when do I stop worrying about mum? I think about her all the time and wonder what I can do next. I stress about her safety all the time. I need to be actively involved in mum life and take care of her in my own way. I do try to be there for her as much as I can.

 

So I guess my question is-

When do I stop worry about mum?

Is this normal for a daughter who's mum has HD?

or Is it because it is just who I am in my heart?

 

Are you the same or have you been in my shoes? I would love to hear what you have to say.
