She in hospital quite imobile, if she gets out needs carers. Maybe let son and his wife and have house this may solve immediate problems, any comments?

Ian,
If your son and his wife are willing to stay with your mother and help her out, I think that would be a wonderful gesture on their part.
Do you have any reservations about this? I may not know the whole story. But on the surface of it, it seems to be a great plan for everyone.
I would have been honored to be able to live with my grandparents and care for them -- it's hard work, though, and not for someone who thinks they're going to get a free ride, that's for sure!!
So, depending on the situation, their relationship with your mother, her willingness, and their willingness.......it seems like a win/win situation to me......

If the kids are able to go and care for her, then that would seem to be the best thing too.
Bless their hearts to be willing.

This may be a good idea, for your son and his wife to care for your mother, if they are willing. Do you have siblings?

Whatever else is adding to it, I'd guess first of all that this is weighing in on your depression as a part of it.
Do you mean perhaps the mission would allow a different house with enough room to bring your mother there to live with you and Christine? [you mentioned another house, but wasn't sure what you were saying, thinking that you and Christine can't just pick up and move way up there ... can you?]
EDIT: OK, I read your note again. It does sound like perhaps you meant your Mom could give you folks the house so that you all could live there and help her out. Hmmm ... how far is that from London where your kids now seem to be?
Yes it does add to depression.
No mission couldent give us a larger house.
Moms house is rented property. But who ever else stays there gets it if she should die.

I see my post remains, afterall. I was confused enough, I guess [frazzled here at the moment ;)], that I actually read your post as tho' you meant "her son," rather than "your son, her grandson." Oh, well .... ;)
If they get used to the area, that would be nice that they can just stay in the house where they'd lived while caring for her, if they like it there.
