Experiencing firsthand how difficult an aging alcoholic, quadriplegic, post stroke, narcissistic, demented or simply ‘nothing’s wrong with me, I can drive, I don’t need those meds, I don’t need to go to a nursing facility’ kinda parent surely gives you some insight on what to do, what not to do and how to prepare for our own aging and eventual demise.
How do you plan to age gracefully and what advice do you have for us all?
Do you have no next of kin?
What’s that got to do with it?
Leaving them to deal with your death/unexplained disappearance seems cruel and egotistical.
Currently, yeah. No idea what it’ll be like in twenty years.
Not that it matters, it isn’t about them, it’s about what I’m willing to put up with just to squeeze out more years
