Mother has taught me something today. My physical mother lives in a

nursing-home in another town and is not in the best of health, both

mentally and physically. So I tend to worry about her and feel guilty

because I am not in a position to take care of her myself. And

frustrated, because communication between us has become more

difficult. And then, today, I read this beautiful name of the Divine

Mother: 'She who is the Mother of the Aged' and I realized my mother

has a Mother too who takes care of her and watches over her.

Dear henny ~ this realization is so beautiful. I am not at all near my

mother, who is very sick, and everytime there is a "crisis," I get

upset. Once, I even moved back to Oregon during one of these "crisis"

times, but then she got better. She gets worse, and then better, and

then worse, and then better...fortunately, she is not in a nursing

home. Her husband is 15 years younger than her, so he takes very good

care of her. I worry about him a bit because he is so stubborn and

wants to do it all himself and won't take the help from home health

care that is available to him. But I very much identify with your

feelings, and I thank you for sharing your realization because it

helps me too. Jai Maa ~ Linda
