Re: Old people
There is this lady I know, well she is extended family. She is in a nursing home and it is heartbreaking. She spent her whole life making a home for herself, her husband and children and when she needed someone she was put in a nursing home. She has able children, 2 boys and a daughter. Her husband passed away.
She has health problems but not so dire that she can not be looked after at home comfortably. Aunty herself is not happy but is acceptant of her situation. She is an independent lady so she never questioned her children's choices and alhamdulilah has enough to live by on without ebing dependent.
I personally think if an old family member can be looked after a home, they should be. If necessary get house help and medical staff, but do not let them spend their last days on their own. When we are helpless as youngsters, these same 'old' people looked after us when we needed to be looked after the most.
