I needed permission to be kind and respectful, but firm. You're the only person I've watched giving me that permission. Thank you. Have 86 year old parents who are falling (broken shoulder) too weak to prepare meals some days, cognitive decline, multiple ER runs via ambulance, congestive heart failure, kidney failure, but absolutely refuse gentle suggestions to go to a nice assisted living facility, which they can afford. I'm so worn out over this - emotionally and physically.
Yes I am in the same position. So I hear you . Its exhausting and emotionally drainjng
A very important topic that needs to be discussed more often!
Thank you so much. I truly needed this.
What happens when an old mother gets ignored by her children and grandchildren? Not knowing phone. Numbers or addresses is what I’m going through
Bad title. Should have had dementia in the title. I’m looking for heal with slowly degrading lungs of my father. He’s quite there mentally but cannot take care of himself without us actually living there (which we talked about and agree would not work for our family/kids/pets).
Not saying this isn’t important. Just that the title should change 😊
