So Mom is getting settled in her new living quarters. Dad is home and is functional but needs a lot of care. We are all getting back to our own lives the best we can although there are still things to sort out.
During the situation, we dealt with everything that came our way as we needed to and we pulled together as a family which was good to know and trust me, the most tired we became - the more snappy and short tempered we became. How we managed to respect each other's differences is a miracle - my sisters and I all have very different personalities but we survived.
From a spiritual perspective things happened as they were meant to happen. Mom is in the home, which is resolving a lot of issues and giving us a bit of peace in some ways. We know she is being looked after properly.
Dad is another issue but we are working on it and we have a lot more knowledge in terms of dealing with things. Apparently, this was all part of lesson for him - learning how his actions affects others. He has never been one for caring how his actions affected another person - as long as he was okay and there was no stress or conflict in his life - he was happy regardless of how it affected others. His lesson is not over...
Everything went very smoothly and those things that we thought were obstacles were rectified quickly and actually fixed potential problems. So much happened in just two weeks. Although it was hectic, if it had gone on to 3 weeks, I don't know that I could have handled it. I am thankful that everything was resolved so quickly.
So although it all came across as a situation exploding into chaos, it allowed us to do what needed to be done and we can see how planned it was. Everything happens for a reason.
And my final thoughts...maybe I shouldn't have cleansed and protected my parent's home. Everything was basically the same until that was done. The cleansing and protection seemed to clear the way for other events to take place.
