SORRY to hear about your folks old-age/health issues.

My mother finally passed away in 2013 at age 99 & 5 months. = The last 3 years of her Earthly life were HARD on all of us, as she was housebound for most of that time & became evermore confused about reality for the last about 18 months..

I rejoice that Mother is now with my dad & her sisters IN GLORY.

Yours, TMN78247

I appreciate that thought.

The tough part here is that there’s no “all of us”, just my wife and I, and Mom and Dad were divorced years ago. That makes for double the trouble (so to speak) in many ways, and makes the finances MUCH worse. Dad = terminal dementia & hopelessy fouled up, complex affairs and tax problems, and Mom’s now really going into that confused reality you speak of (but her memory is still fairly good.)

We’ll muddle through somehow.

Take care. And, thanks again.
