If I might be so bold as to ask for a brief thought for my parents. My father was taken to the hospital for a kidney problem (he's 93) leaving my Mother without his care for her (she's 90 and physically unwell) and now both are........well, I'm not quite sure to be honest. My sister called and said I needed to come. Be prepared she said. My Father apparently has lost his grip on reality. Mom cannot be on her own. They are in a retirement community that does over assisted living arrangements so that is what my Sister, my Brother and I will be looking into. My parents have been inseparable. My Mother is already saying she will not go, will not leave her apartment to go to that "other wing", she's having difficulty focusing too according to my Sister.

I'll be driving the eight to nine hour drive (with no traffic) starting either this afternoon or very early in the AM. I'll check in if I'm able. Funny..you think you are prepared for this happening...you've told yourself it's coming.......Mom and Dad are OLD, but I'm still scared to death.......

So sorry to hear this, (((OoO))). Sending thoughts and prayers for your parents, you, and family and guidance for all to come to an agreement on what is best for your parents' care going forward. I echo Haunted's caution to drive carefully.

You , your sister and brother will be in my prayers for guidance in the days to come. Healing vibes for your dad. Acceptance for your mom, and inner peace for all. OoO- one is never prepared for parents getting older- we see it with our eyes, but never with our heart. Drive safe, be watchful of weather headed your way. Please promise to take some time for you. I send you only love and green lights. We are here, and if you are in need- ask.

Prayers for a safe drive - maybe once Mom sees you she will feel better and become more cooperative - especially if you were very close

Sending up a prayer for you and your parents Out of Order

Prayers and guidance for all who are dealing with older relatives.
Prayers for those who are suffering in silence.
Prayers for all those in the path of Mother Nature-- wish she'd find her chill pills!
Prayers for all the critters lost from flooding and wild fires.
Thankful prayers for all that has been heard and answered.
