Maybe. Dad discontinued his prostate medicine and mainly was on his vitamins and thyroid when he died in his sleep. 94+. Mom was five years older than dad and died at 80 of a form of dementia. We found out shortly after her death it could have been treated. She required round the clock care but dad spent late afternoon & evening with her. Eating their evening meal, watching some TV in their private area of the care center.
She lost her ability to speak but could sing until just a few months before she died. Last message to me “and he tells me I am his own”. Always played IN THE GARDEN first and last when visiting her. Her favorite. Was with her two weeks before she passed and she still communicated with her eyes. Was always sweet and appreciative. Smack her lips and smile when we fed her.
Spunky I just bought an insurance that will pay for home care rather than nursing home Not very expensive part of health care plan.
More people should look into that home care policy, hm.
Especially since it’s inexpensive.
Thanks for sharing your precious memories about your sweet mama, and dad.
