Default Re: Dilemma. One I wish I didn't have.

I can kind of understand what u mean, my own grandmother is getting to a similar stage/age. it is a lot easier for me to notice the deterioration of her than my mum. I can see that she now gets tired doing simple things like going to town to pay bills and pick up some shopping. it's just hard having my mum realise that her mum is getting older and cannot do what she used to.

something I picked up on is saying she used to have a nice garden but now can't be bothered. you should suggest looking after her garden for her, altho this may seem like a small thing, but I think if she doesn't mind you helping with the garden then she prob would like help with other things in her life, but is just to proud to ask. where as if she says she isn't bothered by it at all, then maybe she is genuinely content with her life and is just accepting she is getting older.
