I hear you again @lbern The best thing my wife did, while she was declining, was to put everything in writing! We rewrote our wills and estate plans, got all the advance directives, HIPPA, living will, POAs (legal and medical), her last wishes, etc. It made a huge difference to me and an even larger, positive impact on our grown children.

Hope your day goes well and the sun shines wherever you are!

My mentor has told me that it is import for one to write one's own obituary. We are the only ones who can tell our "story" in a way precious to us. Whether we know we are near, or far from death, we really never know when that time will come. One thing is certain is that it will come. Whatever support I can give you, please let me know. I will do what I can to see you through this. Anther thing I try and let go of is the concept in our minds of time. I am feeling for you and once had a lot of family obligations as you still do. That is a burden that you must let go and which your family must pick up for themselves. It isn't easy, but can be done. Right now you have the time to tie up loose ends and once that is finished you can take care of yourself int he best way you know how. Again, my thoughts and prayers are with you. What a fine person you are.
