Screw you DHS

So today my Mom had a meeting with DHS about my Grandma. It was time to renew my Grandmas paperwork. Well since the last meeting she has been put on some memory medication, this medicine has been a such a blessing. My Grandma was seeing my dead Grandpa, and supposedly he had a pregnant girlfriend and a few other things going on with him as well. Like I said he is dead. Well since being put on this new medication she no longer see's my Grandpa and realizes that he is passed away and up in heaven with God. We can actually have a conversation with her and it will make sense now. She is very happy with where she is living right now, in an assisted living place where they administer her medication to her, so she does not miss a does or abuse it either. She is very happy there and doing great. She is involved in groups and activities and has even made some friends as well. This place has been very good for her. So to get to my point about hatting DHS. So my Mom was informed in this meeting today that since my Grandma is now coherent and can take better care of herself, because of this new medication, that she is no longer qualifies for there services. Um HELLO PEOPLE! If you make her move and don't help take care of her, she will not be taking her medication right and will no longer be coherent. What is wrong with the system today. We already have three generations living under one roof at our house. If they don't take care of my Grandma I don't know who will. We can not afford to keep her where she is with out state assistance. Yes we could move her into our already crowed house and make it even more crowed. Yes we would do that, no we are not going to just dump her on the street. But we have enough stress as a family right now to deal with, and then adding this on top of it just makes everything worse right now. What is wrong with our systems right now. I thought they were suppose to help us, and help take care of us as we get older. Is that not why we pay into social security for our whole working lives. I'm so mad right now I just want to scream. Mad at DHS for doing this to my Grandma, mad that my mom has to add one more thing to her stress level that is already sky high. I know God says that everything happens for a reason, and that we need to trust in Him, and I do. I just wish that he would give me a little clue as to why this is all happening at once. I know it does not work that way and sometimes it will take a while to see why things happen. I just have to keep praying and trusting in Him. Knowing that it will all work out in the end.
