[quote=Anonymous]DH and I have been dealing with aging, sick and dying parents for more than 15 years now. It is always something - we care for my 85 year old MIL locally and help with my mom who lives 2 hours away in a home. Between the 2 mothers there is never enough time for all of the "stuff" they would like us to to do for them (rides to store, Dr.s, etc.). My mother compares how many visits she gets from her family versus her friends with local children. There is so much guilt, so much exhaustion. For their ages they are in good shape mentally and we try to make the most of our time with them and encourage them to use transportation supplied by their communities when they can (but they don't like to). We are thankful that they are not bedridden or in and out of hospitals - so there is a bright side I suppose. [/quote]
