Some lessons learned - dealing with family stuff

[Rebl2]

6. I have been

in your situation too. My parents lawyer left the firm he was with and became an elder lawyer. They guided us through everything. My parents lived in their home (they both had dementia) and they could not keep up with the care of the house any longer and neither could I because I am disabled. I took care of their bills because Mom couldn’t anymore and my Dad couldn’t either. My Mom ended up having serious blood clots in her lungs (2019) and went to the hospital and a week later my Dad fell and ended up in the hospital. They both went into rehab and there was also a nursing home there as well. I was so upset my husband had to figure out if they could afford to then be transferred to the nursing home. (My sister who is local was dealing with working and a problem adult child at the time.). It worked out ok. They both got Covid in 2020 before vaccinations were available and survived. Unfortunately my Dad passed last August. My Mom has declined quite a bit. She will 92 later this year. I have no desire to live to my nineties after watching what they went through. Now my Mom’s twin sister in (another state) and and her husband are not doing well either. It’s been very sad to see their decline.
