That is what I have been told by my Uncle. He has told me (and my sister) that we just need to learn to listen to her, calm down, and relax. Sure...easy for you to say...you live 3,000+ miles away and come for a week to visit. We were hoping that they would see what we endure taking care of her.
I know what I can learn...that I don't want to be a burden on my children and that if I am needing 24/7 care and cannot afford a nursing home, give me an overdose of medication and let me go!!
And you learn this by seeing what NOT to do.
Yes, I think we are all learning what NOT to do, and are trying to plan ahead for our own old age. We also must need to keep our own grown children [if we have any] also in the loop so they can learn from their grandparent on what NOT to do.... and start saving for their own old age NOW.
