I can only reply that I am so sorry you are feeling conflicted with your situation and hope you find the answer within yourself somewhere. And I hope you will have an easy transition. I am young yet, but widowed, and have contemplated what I would do when I can no longer care for myself. I plan to move to a continuum of care facility as I have dealt with a parent who needed constant attention with dementia. I don't wish to be a burden to my child who works full time and has her own family. So this was the best decision for me. Perhaps as the time draws near I may change my mind, but it seems a prudent solution for now. Would an assisted living facility in TV be an option for you? Then you could remain here essentially... I believe that when the time comes, you will make the best decision for yourself and your family. I wish you peace and comfort.
