[quote=Anonymous]I’m 37. My mom has been suffering from dementia for 5 years (it started when she was about 65 and she’s now 70) and is now in the late stages and probably has a few months or so left to live we think. We have been helping my dad care for her at home up until recently when she finally had to go to a psychiatric hospital and now we’re trying to get her moved to a dementia care nursing home. Throughout her illness, we’ve also had to start caring for my dad too as he doesn’t seem mentally or physically able to handle caring for her, himself and their household. We also have 2 young kids. It’s a very difficult, sad phase of life when your parents get old and sick and can’t care for themselves anymore.[/quote]
