My father cries a lot. We are at a loss what to do.

My husband, with dementia, depression, diabetes, incontinent, and legally blind now, is in the hospital with his lower heart chamber in fibrillation - probably will get a pacemaker. This guy can't get a break! As I am disabled physically, I depend on him to help me as well. Don't know what the future will look like but it is looking very bleak.

Our whole society needs to think seriously about how to help folks in this situation. Too many are left to cope on their own and to suffer in silence. Families alone can't begin to do what's needed and some don't have families at all. Are we just to abandon people to their own devices? There are so many problems in the world that need addressing. An aging population is surely one of them.
