Fear of getting older. someone asked or stated they are afraid of getting older this ageing will happen to all if you live long enough. People just need to get over this fear of ageing ,,,the only way to stay young is to die young......Getting older does not mean you have all bad health problems ..its to a given when you age this or that will happen.There are people older than you doing more than you if you look around you. Yes even in better health than young people. Consider how some elders even grandparents are caregivers for their children /grandchildren who have problems people think only elders get...So deal with getting older/ageing due ti there are only two options!!!! die young or age with grace.
I definitely DO NOT want my son and his wife caring for me as I have done for my folks. I want to be put in a care facility when I can no longer stay in my own home. Once there if I'm on any meds, I want them all stopped.
Have I made this all clear to my son and his wife? Do I have it all legally written out correctly?
To reborn: I'm very happy that you have developed your ways to cope with the caregiving situation. But, your reality is not mine. I have always been an outdoor person (hiking, camping etc.) and this caregiving is like a prison and as my Mom becomes frailer the walls keep closing in. It used to be we could at least take a drive in the mountains but now Mom can no longer get in my Jeep. There is no joy in this situation except for the fact that Mom seems to be happy here at home with me and I'm glad knowing she's happy and well cared for.
