[quote=Anonymous]Last year, we took my depressed Mom to Longwood Gardens for her birthday. We pushed her around in a wheelchair and the gardens were lovely and we had a nice meal. Mom appreciated it, though she's depressed, saying things like: "people aren't meant to live this long" and the gardens are, well, gardens ("they're just plants.") This year she says she just wants to go out to dinner. Which we'll do. But my brothers and sister are flying in from thousands of miles away...should we just plan on going out without mom to the theater or something? Not sure how to deal with the depression--she's in no pain, lives in an assisted living facility nearby, and we all visit when we can. My older brother said she did the same thing last year and LOVED the fuss. [/quote]
