[quote=Anonymous]I want to add something here. This man is in his 70s, and the OP's Mom died in her 60s, which in my view, is young. How do people in their 30s and 40s envision life for themselves after 55? Is this just another symptom of ageism, where after a certain age life ceases to exist, that people as they age just have no relevancy, desires, interests, or purpose. Are they there to just still be someone's parent or are considered a burden or someone to be accommodated in some way. I mean, this is all pretty extreme. This person literally never considered that her father had any purpose or life after her mother died. This speaks volumes in the face of so much Boomer bashing. This entire thread made me very depressed. FWIW, my husband and I have had many conversations about what might happen if either of us died. We would want the other to live their life. [/quote]
