Oh, Anna, I am so sorry. I am so afraid to put our daughter and her lovely husband in the same situation soon. Thank you for talking about it. It gives us some time to prepare.
That sounds like a really scary situation. Have you read Light Falls on Everything by Rebecca McClanahan? It's the memoir of her caretaking her parents until the end.
Sympathy re the relentless admin of arranging the right care for elderly parents on ever-shifting sands, Anna. Love your juxtapositions with moments of humour and joy. Sending fortitude.

Thanks Larisa, and glad you have time to prepare… as we all should if we can
Beautifully said Anna, despite sad times. Courage ma belle...
I am living the same with my old neighbour who has no family, not the same I know but as heartbreaking to watch.
Thanks Susie. I’m glad your neighbor has you, but that is so sad…
Thank you for sharing this encapsulated moment in your world, Anna. It’s a picture of love and grace and light in even difficult times.

Thank you Wendy, it is all such a weird mixture of feelings and events
Yes, please keep writing, Anna--about this and about everything else in your life.
Keep writing! It can be both a balm and a ballast to calm and steady you.
It sure can. Thanks Polly
Heavy stuff, Anna, but you bring the light. You really do. Love you.
Francesca I can only say “same to you.” Thank you
