<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 6658721, member: 103207"]I know what you mean. My grandmother that I was very close with spent the last 8 years of her life in bed in a nursing home. Her mind was perfect but, her body gave out. We would go visit her every Sunday. After a while I could almost feel a person was about to die just by looking at their face. Last year my father was in and out of a nursing home for almost a year. When he was home I had to help him everyday to get him out of bed and in bed. Even though I brought in help for him there were days I was at his house 4 times a day. The sad part was with Covid is I couldn't visit him when he was in the hospital or nursing home. He died on 12-30-2020 just short of turning 95. My mother is still at home and is 93 but failing. The worst part of the year was my aunt that was almost 95 died in October so I had to tell my mother her sister died in October and then tell her my father died on Dec. 30th. I thank God my father was home when I had to tell her sister died. Oh I almost forgot my father's younger sister (92) died Jan.2, 2020. Three in one year. My in laws are both still alive but their not well either (91 & 88). Hopefully, I get a break for year but, I doubt. Bottom line treat the old folks well. I also advise if there is something you would like to know about them ask them before it's to late. Once their gone their story is gone too. There is a lot they tell you if only you ask. Sorry about the book I just wrote but, it's so important ask those hard questions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
