[quote=Anonymous]Because she was part of the household and not off on her own, she was probably able to help with various tasks that didn't require mobility. Not sure what bog people did specifically but in other cultures elders often spun fiber, shelled peas, watched the meal cook on the fire, taught the kids, etc. I'm not saying they wouldn't have cared for her even if she was incapacitated. I'm saying we tend to forget all the little things that infirm people can do in a community. And there would have been people around to watch her and talk to her, rather than her daughter driving across town to visit after work. [/quote]
