[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Caring for the elderly is a responsibility like caring for babies, though it’s harder in many ways that have been discussed. Helplessness and dependency are part of the human experience. It’s normal to feel resentment sometimes, but unrealistic to expect it to disappear. [/quote] Expect what to disappear? At least don’t prolong the dependency by trying hard to live to 100[/quote] Whether you die of cancer in your 30s or Alzheimer’s in your 90s, you will be physically dependent on others for the weeks or months or years leading up to the end. It’s a fact of life. It’s immature and sad to be in denial of that fact, whether because you fear it for yourself or resent it in others. [/quote]
