Dealing with an aging parent now. I think what I’ve learned is when things start to go they go fast and the aging loved one rather quickly reverts to what I would characterize as a child like state. It’s quite an eye opener and until you’ve seen it up close and personal you wouldn’t believe the extent of the changes. Very challenging for all involved.
I know that is difficult. You might check out the forums at care.com. They are selling services, but they also have a great question and answer forum for people who are currently caregivers.
