You can ease this by taking her out on short trips while she is able to. A meal out, a trip to a store, beauty parlor, nail salon, anything to restore or maintain a sense of normality for her.

One cool thing that has happened in the last couple of week since this decision has been made is that she is suddenly more interested in doing things. Before she had no interest outside the house. TV was her life unless someone played a game with her or something. My niece is in high school and plays a bunch of sports and the other day she said to me that she would like to figure out a way to go see one of her games. I thought that was very cool and I know my niece would love it.
Just talked to her a few minutes ago and it looks like they are moving her from the care facility she is in now to the assisted living place sometime in the next hour so I will be going over once she is there and taking her a few things then over the weekend we will be moving the rest of her stuff.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes. They are much appreciated.
