[quote=Anonymous]I lost one parent as a child. You never get over it. The flip side of losing parents too soon is not being burdened with their care. I have at least six friends struggling with this now. Things like mom with Alzheimer’s, has become mean and requires full-time care, there’s a waiting list for all the memory care homes so friend is dealing with mom 24/7 until a space becomes available. Another friend’s mom was in a facility but broke her leg, requiring surgery, had to move to rehab facility, moved back to regular facility only to fall again. Friend has missed significant time and work and spends crazy amount of time dealing with her mother’s care. They’re spending something like $12k a month on her home. She’s so stressed all the time. Losing a parent too early is awful but having to care for them for years is horrible too. I just hope I go before being a burden on my kids.[/quote]
