Pet, my mum's nursing home had regular events in the home, and trips out for those who were physically well enough (sadly not mum). Relatives were always welcome to join in, and could have lunch with their relative, at minimal cost. This might be easier than just visiting with nothing much to do or talk about. I always took mum flowers, she loved watching me trim and arrange them, just as I used to before I left home, but in all honesty it gave us time together but with a point to the visit. Once your husband has moved, make sure you allow him time to settle in, by not visiting every single day. Learning how to live alone will be a challenge too, so most of all be kind to yourself.
Hi. It's lovely to hear from you. We are still waiting for the reply re funding for the nursing home. Hope it's soon. Want to see him settled. Hopefully he will be able to go out eventually. His mobility is quite poor but he does use a zimmer frame. Poss he will go out in a wheelchair.
Lunch would be good from time to time. My daughters still hope he will be home at times but I'm not sure it would be the right thing to do? We will have to see.
I'm struggling living on my own but I do realize that it's best for us both. The whole situation still consumes me as I know it does others in similar situations. One day at a time as is said. I will think of things to take though. Maybe history book of the city etc.
I do hope you are well and at least muddling through. Xx
