I really feel for all those with worries about elderly parents. I had that problem, but don't say much on Forkers. Daddy died 5 years ago and Mummy died 2 1/2 years ago. Miss them. It was hard being in France, went to UK often to see Mummy in the home.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Same for me BL with my Dad. Mum died a couple of years before that. That must have been very hard for you being so far away. I was lucky - mine were both in their own house and I was nearby, although Dad died a few days before I was due to move. No long hospital stays or anything like that thankfully, so I'm very grateful they had no horrible experiences like some parents of forum members.
Sharing it here can be a good thing. I think many of us feel happy to confide in the others here. Lots of good sympathetic people.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Dad still healthy, Mum died 5 years ago - far too young. Not sure its something you ever really get over.
So haven't yet had to deal with elderly parent problems - but my heart goes out to those who do. Must be very difficult when the carer roles are reversed.
Thinking of my very dear friend who has cancer. We thought she was doing well but unfortunately she needs another operation. Hoping after Monday everything will be ok.
