[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom got very thin at what we later realized was the start of Alzheimer's disease. What you're seeing may be normal aging, or may be a sign that they need more in-home assistance with meals and more.[/quote] This. Perhaps rather than using reactionary mental language like "corpse-y", you can reframe from a problem solving perspective. Maybe meals and haircuts are more difficult. Among other things. This is not a surprise at age 85. When was the last time your DH visited their home and saw how things operated? He may want to do that soon. Aging doesn't have to be scary and undignified with the right assistance.[/quote]
