The older I get the wiser my parents get - lol.
Seriously, as we get older, our parents are aging. Anyone starting to face the struggles of aging parents - with medical problems and decreased ability to take care of themselves?
My father-in-law was diagnosed with the early stages of dimentia - which means in time - he won't be able to take care of himself and will need his kids to help make decisions for him - maybe even a nursing home.
Has anyone had this kinda talk with their parents? My mom said its her worse fear that she get put into a home. But realistically, that day could come. Have you talked about their wishes, funeral plans, life support? Difficult discussions, but necessary.
