Dealing With Aging Parents
Artiste:
I keep care of my mother.
She is in her 80's!
She does keep care of moi, yes me too!
Hugs!

There's a movie coming out called The Savages, about a middle-aged brother and sister, played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney, who must put their lives on hold to deal with their father's increasing dementia. I don't think I could deal with it, since I went through the whole dementia thing with my dad over the last few years before he passed. But I'm curious. I hear it's supposed to be quite good.
Do you think you could handle seeing it? Any of you?

I think I could. I am real good in the denial department...

I'd like to see it, actually. I find it interesting and reassuring to see others deal with the same problems I do. I'm not into support groups, but this probably fills a similar function.

My colleague at work has mother at that same age and she is 47. She is gay I think but she would never admit it to me. She has a girlfriend "trip friend" how she calls her - they go to bikes on weekends but they live in different cities. Well, I am thinking what she will do when her mom dies . . . . she will be devastated and so alone. The girlfriend maybe then move to herp lace. But you never know. None of my speculations were ever confirmed so maybe it is just a bike friend.
