Thoughts with all.
My Dad died at the end of November, he was 95 and had been pretty well right up until the end, his heart just gave out and it was barely 24hrs between him getting his own breakfast one day and being into hospital and gone the next. A decent way to go.
Mum is 94 and struggling to cope with it a bit. We make headway and then she has a bit of a fallback. Still, today I took her for new hearing aids and she can hear again! I have to keep reminding myself not to shout. She's got some super helpers coming in 3 times a day, that's working pretty well.
I live 140mls away, so far I've done the return trip every week, half time at home half time with Mum, I don't think I can keep that up for much longer, it's too wearing, but for now it is what it is.
Days are getting brighter!
