Buried my mom a week ago today. 92, bedridden and unhappy most waking hours. Sad, my dad is living in the same part of the skilled nursing facility and she had not said more than a couple words to him in the last year or so. She blamed him for whatever reason for her mental/physical condition. And he is going to memory care as soon as we can get him moved - I suspect his mental condition will make it easier for him. It was past time for her to be gone. It still sucks to lose a parent but still, no vibes please.
I need to start taking worse care of myself

Damn. Very sorry but I get you. Mom needs a memory ward but dad refuses and I get that too.
I don't wanna live till 90 in a home with a standard of life that I wouldn't like. I tell my wife often to Please Please drop a pillow over me while I'm sleeping and do us both a favor. She gets pissed but I hope I will make her come around.

Sorry, man. My parents are in that phase where all their friends are dying. That's just gotta be such a stark reminder that everything is transient.

Sorry for the loss, but genuinely understand the mercy of release. Well wishes for your dad and fuck nursing homes.

Sorry to hear DJ..
I hope your dad adjusts to memory care...and that he's in one of the good nursing homes for it.
I lost my mom back in May at age 97 so I feel some of your pain. 20 years of caregiving has taken a toll but still glad myself and sister were able to handle it.
