Caregiving Story

Genevieve Beauregard, My Mom

Age:84
Location:Hollywood , FL
Cared for by:Maureen Beauregard
Years of Care:13

 

What can I say, I miss my mother! As a family, we decided to take care of her and not put her into a nursing home, as we knew this was what she would have wanted. We wanted the best for her as well, because she raised eight children as a single parent.

I moved back home in 1992 with my 7 year old son to help take care of her and the house. After a few years, her condition became worse and she needed around-the-clock care. I quit my job to take care of her full-time. Believe me, sometimes it wasn't easy, but I knew in my heart that I had done the right thing! My daily activities included bathing her, feeding her, walking her, making sure her med's were on track, and just giving her the quality of life she so deserved.

She has now left us and we are sad. My only wish is to give the care and love that I gave to my own mother to someone else, for this is god's will.
