What's this?

God bless man..My folks are "in the process" as well. I guess->


it's one thing we ALL have in common if we are lucky enough to have them into old age. My mom is 90 and my dad is 92. Her physical health isn't great (mind sharp as a tack), and he has dementia (yey doc says he's physically the healthiest man in the building)..Together, they do OK. Once one goes (probably my mom), I shudder to think how we'll handle my dad. They still live at home, but really SHOULD be in assisted care. It is something my mom wants to avoid at ALL costs, so i feel like I owe her (and them) that as long as we possibly can..

The details are all different, but everyone on the board of a certain age can feel your pain and angst...Again, best of luck, and God bless!
