Many condolences on the loss of your mother, and for her and your needless suffering in the process. And thank you for sharing your story.
A note. As one who has been transcribing censored and shadow-banned video and audio testimonies for 2 years now, by which I mean to say, I am always on the lookout, I have to say I have found relatively fewer testimonies about the lockdowns and jab rollouts in nursing homes and assisted living facilities-- far, far more abundant are cases of cardiac and neurological jab injuries recounted by young adults and middle-aged people. But I don't doubt that horrors went on behind the closed doors. I was already well aware of what was going on in nursing homes before 2020.
You write, "I tell people now...do not send your parents to live in these type of residential old folks homes! Try to keep them at their home or your home! "
I totally agree. Under the covidian craze what happened to one of my aunts was gruesome-- and I doubt it was in any way extraordinary. In sum: isolation for months, accelerated dementia, stroke, death. (My own parents passed away before the craziness of 2020, and athough I miss them every day, so very much, I am glad they did not have to endure 2020-2022.)
Again, there's not a one-size-fits-all prescription, but I do think too many of us often tend to think we can hire someone to "fix" whatever the situation may be when, really, what we need to do is take responsability.
Again, I'm not saying everyone should care for their elders in their own home, nor that elders can always stay safely in their own home. Sometimes, when possible, it does make sense to hire help, or arrange for another situation outside one's own home. But what I see is that a common cultural bias many Americans share, towards living apart from family, has led many elders into extremely dangerous, even fatal situations.
To illustrate: My aunt often said she didn't want to be a burden on her sons and daughters-in-laws, and so she signed onto her local assisted living facility thinking she was doing the best thing for herself and for her family. She ended up basically imprisoned in a sunless room. She would have died anyway, after all, we all do, but her last two years were extra ugly when they didn't need to be, and, judging from her excellent heath and active life at the time she entered the assisted living facility, her death probably came several years earlier than it would have otherwise.
