Re: Did you look after your parents ?
yes and I still do. My Dad lived to 85 and died 10 years ago. Since then Ive looked after my Mum while she was living in her own home until 18 months ago when she went into care because she had so many falls at home. She will soon be 94 and I visit her every other day.Re: Did you look after your parents ?
My mum is still alive, still more or less independent and we help her. She has arthritis and heart problems but doesn't need care yet although I worry a lot about her.Re: Did you look after your parents ?
Re: Did you look after your parents ?
I didn't look after my parents, though I lived next door. My father was 13 years older than my mother, and died when he was 68, but she looked after him. My mother died aged 80. and up till the last few moths of her life, managed on her own, and I was there for her when she needed me.Re: Did you look after your parents ?
No I did not ,my Dad had a heart attack and died in hospital.my Mum had Cancer but my sister lived with her and took care of her,for a time I was OK as my sister was at work,but it was difficult as I had a baby and Mum got upset if he cried or if he was crawling aoround while we were ,so I had to try to visit while he slept,I also had a son coming home from school for lunch.Later on when Mum went into Hospital I would walk there to see her ,parking the sleepijg baby in the pram uner her war window,I dont know what I could have done if anyone had tried take him,no way could I have got down in time to stop them,but luckily no one did [ babies /children were not allowed on the waeds those days 40 + yrs ago]Re: Did you look after your parents ?
yes I do, my Dad would be lost without me, he needs me, especially now my beautiful Mum has passed away, she was 81 when she died. I did a lot for them both but I felt better about things because they both had each other. Now Dad is alone I visit him 6 days a week, the 7th day is the one single day my Sister goes, she doesn't do her share even though she doesn't work and I do, but I adore my Dad and I will do anything for him.
