[quote=Anonymous] OP, I hear you! I posted similarly about my parents on this forum the last few years. Dad had Parkinsons, Mom had siginficant denial and 2 years ago he fell on her and she broke her hip, which she never regained good mobility from. Dad passed in April, and in the last year or so, I'd say I kind of...just took the lead. Not in hands on care although I did assist (I work fulltime, commute 2 hrs a day and have an sn 9yo) but in things like calling providers, arranging services, going to appts on my days off. It was a LOT and I didn't realize how much until he passed away. It's still a lot-I'm even writing the 'script' or plan for his interment later this month! Anyhow OP, taking the lead as much as I could helped get Dad at least some needed help/services. At least I know I did all I could, and in the end he did pass away of natural causes with us his family at his side. It's really hard to watch it play out though like you said.[/quote]
