I would think the best thing for him would be to go ahead and introduce whomever would be his next caregiver / helper into his life so that the transition, when it ultimately comes, would be somewhat easier on him. As far as his grief at the loss, I'd think to just surround him with love and support. Allow him to express his grief as he can and try to let him know it is normal and you feel it too. I hope God will come alongside you when the time comes and help.<br />Perspectives at <a href="http://lifefaithincaneyhead.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life & Faith in Caneyhead</a><br />Barbara In Caneyheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053601327400989802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834119896679531834.post-56672691279245311102017-04-15T18:41:25.012-04:002017-04-15T18:41:25.012-04:00I can't imagine how hard it will be to lose my...I can't imagine how hard it will be to lose my mom.

A mother's entire job is to make sure she is redundant. Easier said than done!
