[quote=Anonymous]Moving my mom to "independent living" 2 hours away next week. She is 91, refused offers to move closer to me or siblings because she is still active and has many friends, church etc. (she's even driving which is scary as hell). My father passed 18 months ago and was in and out of hospitals and finally hospice for about 3 years. Thank goodness 3 of 4 kids pitch in - it is/was a huge job to keep them safe in-home and to offer the love and support they need when they stressed, confused and lonely. My mom has a ton of friends, kids and young-adult grandkids that check in regularly and she is still lonely sometimes - nothing will ever replace my dad and the energy she had as a younger person. Getting old sucks!! God love them- it is VERY hard.[/quote]
