[quote=Anonymous] I think some people are flippant with saying I was 22 when I dealt with mom or dad dying so it can happen any time and we deal. Most likely if you were young someone else dealt with the caregiver. That is a world of difference from a 22 year old who has to do the lion's share of the work. I agree with the person who said we should all hope to go quickly. Unless you have dealt with the hell of frequent emergencies disrupting your life and the insane pull of raising kids and having needy parents and unappreciative siblings trying to command the show by phone, you just cannot fathom what hell our kids might face at an age when they haven't develop the emotional strength and enough experience with adversity to have the emotional and physical resources to cope. Parents can become full out verbally abusive with dementia and Alzheimers which just adds the poison frosting to the poison cake.[/quote]
