So 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.
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.

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
