My father is 91; his quality of life is very poor: he can barely walk; he's deaf. I'm very anxious when I'm around him because I feel so helpless. I don't want to be around him. He's so difficult to have a conversation with. It's so difficult to take him to the MD because he can barely walk. He wants to die to be with his deceased wife. and I want him to die to be released from his infirmities.
then theres my hero . she had a new home built at the age of 92 . when one is forced to wonder why , the only answer you can come up with is ; evelyn just takes it a day at a time . she enjoyed her new home for 9 yrs till she died at 101 . easy life ? h*ll no . evelyn cared for her alz husband in her home for at leat 20 yrs until his death ..
i left a hepc chat group a few months ago because nearly everyone on there were just defeated before they left the starting gate . i got sick of their whining sh*t . if attitude counts , i was cured before i took the first pill .
i cant help but think thriving takes a special attitude ..
No. I did not want to see my father die... yes he was deathly ill but stubborn strong so he did not show it. I'd give anything to have him home for at least 2 days so I can ask all those d*mn questions I didn't think of 2 years ago.
As far as mom, NO.... yes , she's a whackadoodle at times, but God love her, she is still kicking butt ( no accounting for her UTI which was/is DREADFUL) No... I do not.
my mother enjoyed delicious homemade food in her final months , my aunt just enjoys loving visitors . your elders are not going to go until theyve resolved some things in their minds not the least of which -- are their kids gonna be allright ..
Your father probably doesn't have much time left with you and as hard as it is... do your best so YOU won't have any regrets and daddy, well... he can go in peace.
I wish you the best Pramoda :)
