Default Caregivers
Today's lunch with mom has me concerned. She was an hour early for lunch, she keeps getting time mixed up and missing doctor appointments, and today she created alternate facts about a trip that we took.

I am concerned.

I can relate Chad ...It's so hard to watch parents as they age. We tend to remember them from our child's eye.

That is a worry. When I was in a similar situation I found the challenge was to work out of it was par for the course as my Father aged or if it was the first signs of dementia. All I could really do was watch and wait and offer support when needed. It always amazes me how the years can take their toll on some and others stay bright as a button to the very end. Life is a lottery.

Thank you, I need to plan for a better situation with mom.
She lives alone and that will become an issue soon.
