Do you receive Social Security? Nursing homes reserve a certain amount of rooms for people that just have SS (or they use to) - check with them and if so, get your name on the list. There has to be someone to help. Call the Human Resources department and ask them who can help you. There are lots of different departments - they have to direct you to one of them. If you don't get any help there - call your police department and tell them you have to have some help and see where they tell you to contact someone. Start reaching out for some of this information.

Thank you Mia, Sharon, Brinny and all.
I desperately need your prayers at this time.
The daughter has moved in (she cannot stay indefinitely, as she lives in and has a job in another city) and is harassing me, causing me severe emotional anguish.
I don't know how much longer I can endure this. What can I do?
My health is already bad.

LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, I pray for your presence in Mary's life. Give her a double portion of your Spirit. Give her strength to do your will both today and everyday. May she know the peace that passes understanding. As she goes through this day may she find God, find others, and find herself. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Hello, I just registered tonight (I had a membership a few years ago but site states no record of enrollment) because I need help so badly. I am just completely heartsick and so very frightened.

I am a 76 year old female who has lived with an 89 year old man for over seven years. I love him more than anyone in the world, and I know he feels love for me.
I have cooked, cleaned and looked after him all these years until I got down fairly recently and cannot do what I used to do.

About a year ago this man's son, a rather mentally slow, never-married ex-alcoholic came to live with us. Recently, he has had to assume most of the things I used to do for his father. Although he has been mostly silent, I thought he understood my situation. I do let him borrow my car and pay him for the errands he runs.
Apparently, I was sadly naive.

The two grown children of the man I live with came in from San Antonio and Houston and presented me with an 'eviction' notice- that my 'lease' was not being renewed. The typed statement that stated I had 30 days to collect my belongings and vacate.
I was completley shocked, bewildered and humiliated.
(The presentation of the 'eviction' was made by the son who came to my room and was accompanied and witnessed by the daughter's 'boyfriend', a 60 year old stranger whom I had never seen before, and who stood back with the son as if waiting for a real show- just to add to the humiliation)

As I said, I love this man, and I know he loves me- even though he signed the 'eviction' notice.

There is nothing wrong with his mind. He is still sharp- just a semi-invalid.
I know that the son who moved in, reported things that were not true to the others. I know they just ganged up on him until they made him agree. His children always made it plain that they did not want me in their father's house, no matter how much I did for him.
It came down to the point that when I spoke to them, they would ignore me.
Many times I happened to walk by and heard the daughter on the phone (he keeps it on 'speaker phone') saying rude and untrue things about me.
I suspect they are afraid he will leave some of his money to me.
I am just so broken hearted. I don't want to leave this man, and I am weak and a partial invalid myself, with no money and nowhere to go.

Please offer your prayers for me.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I am so very frightened.

Never be afraid. When you chose Christ, you chose Him to be your guide through life. The weather may become stormy, the trail frighteningly rugged- but He is the guide; he has the ability to keep everything in proper perspective and to keep you safe.

So don't worry. Take one day at a time. As terrifying as this life may seem at times, when we arrive in Heaven, the trials and tribulations of this life will become totally irrelevant.

On a practical note- have you asked your man directly if he wants you to leave, despite what he signed? Have you offered to sign an undertaking that you will revoke all rights to an inheritance, except what you are legally entitled to, and will rely on him to provide your needs while you are both still alive, and trust to God after that?

..about what has happened to me after reading my original story.
It's unbelievable all that has happened to me since I last visited this forum.

Dave became very ill around February 10 and had to be admitted to the hospital.
His 'children' took this opportunity to evict me from his house.
I tried, but there was nothing I could do to prevent this.
Dave would have stopped them had he been there, but he was hospitalized and became confused. (remember he was 89 with multiple illnesses)

I managed to find a tiny apartment for myself, but coping with how to pay bills and grief from being separated from Dave took a toll physically, and I became very ill and for all intents and purposes, incapacitated.
They would not let me speak to Dave. His cell phone was taken away from him and they fixed the land phones at his house where you had to know a code before you could get a call through.
I have been and still am too sick and weak to try to go to his house to see him.

Today I found out Dave died March 9th.
(for some reason I Googled his name on my PC)

I am overcome with grief- and anger with his family.
What kind of animals are they?
How could they not let me know?
They are fully aware of my circumstances.
How could they?
I am overcome with shock and grief.
I know he was quite elderly, but he was tough. He was everyone's rock.
He always pulled through before.
How am I supposed to go on?

You can't afford to give into self-pity, Mary, because it will only make you feel worse, even though it's the perfectly normal reaction to the way you've been treated.

But for your own sake, ponder on it all, and realise that their callous behaviour over Dave's funeral was entirely predictable, given their tawdry characters, and that changing your focus away from them will improve your outlook - which at the moment is making you feel hopeless.

Nothing happens by accident or to no good purpose, so try to see yourself as one person in an ocean of suffering, which only seems to increase as we get old, although Christ and his angels are never far from us in our trials.

If you can work a computer, I really recommend you watch some YouTube video-clips of marvelous 'near death' experiences which people of all ages have had, usually while undergoing emergency surgery. Let me know if you want some NDE-video recommendations , won't you. I have some incredibly inspiring ones.

Much love, girlo

Paul

PS: I forgot, you do use a computer.
