[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree. I stayed by my dad’s side the last days of his life, and it was the greatest gift given to me. I wish I had been more helpful while he was alive. I realized people that age are often stoic. They’re prideful. They don’t want to bother us. [b]But they’re truly in need. They’re vulnerable, the world is confusing, they’re locked out of so much because they’re not tech savvy. I have so much sympathy for the elderly. [/b][/quote] This is my view of the elderly and their needs. And what I try to keep in mind as the challenges of dealing with 4 sets of aging parents and an aging, unmarried Aunt are looming. It's not going to be easy. But they will be anxious, vulnerable, and in need. And they're our parents so we owe it to them to show them the same love, protection, etc. they showed us as children.
