TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 week agoSo glad I have been able to help her, and sad to see someone so strong and independent getting old and frail.
I dont think its sad. It shouldnt be sad. Getting old is a part of life, and if we didnt have a finite cap on our time we’d forget to enjoy the time we have. Getting old is a part of the journey of life, and hopefully a time you can rely on your loved ones and friends.

Thanks. You are very right. I find it hard to see her struggle (early stage Alzheimer’s). But I think we all looked after her and she had a ball

My dad’s going through this now. He’s on what may well be his last big trip - touring around Australia with a campervan with his partner. Last I spoke to him he asked me the same questions three times over in a ten minute conversation. It’s hard.

Sorry to hear that. My mate’s parents did that trip when the mum got diagnosed. His dad used to say at least he could go back to old favourite spots that she would normally be bored with because they were all new!
