I don't know what to do for her anymore. All of this is wearing me out.

Why did she do that?  Trauma, Dementia, Longterm illness, Diversion for other pain, Want to end her life?  What to do really depends on the above answer.

Of course youre warn out.  You have so much on your plate already.  I hope you can find (steal) some times for yourself and find peace again.  Time to find more treasures.  I liked what you said about that... pictures... being treasure.  Going out and finding them bringing them back and putting them on your computer.  I agree.  Hang in there.

Shoot, Genisa. I don't even know what to tell you. You can't make her want to live. I can't even imagine how hard this must be for you. I'm sorry. You're both in my prayers.

Genisa,

I am really sorry to hear about this.  If you need some help please let me know.  I only live 35 minutes away, and I will help you do what I can.  Please private message me if you want me to give you a call.

Hang in there ~ hugs xoxo

She keeps saying that she doesn't want to die, but it is too hard to live. she is in a wheel chair and has muscular dystrophy, and she says that ever since she had a flu vaccine this last September, her muscles have all gotten weaker, to the point where it is difficult to transfepr herself safely to her wheel chair. She has two cats that she does  not want to give up. She said she rather put them to sleep and creemate them than to give them to someone she doesn't know. After all of this, I don't know anywhere that will take her, let alone,her cats. She can't be trusted living by herself, but her demands are hard to meet. As it is now, I have to pack  her whole apartment at the independant living facility. She has alot of stuff in such a small place. She's helping me out with gas, going to and from her apt. and the hospital, as it is quite a distance from where I live, and I don't have the resources to keep putting gas in the tank.
