Last week, I watched one of my 100 year-old patient’s heart break š… Not because his 98 y-o wife of 30 years was dying… and not because she was taking the long good-bye of dementia…
No! Two relatively healthy and cognizant centenarians were saying good-bye because their kids were deciding for them that it was the only way to keep them safe… for her to go to WA to be with her kids and for him to stay in CO with his.
Iāve been thinking about him, now sleeping alone in his bed for the first time in 30 years, and Iām wondering… was this the right decision for them? If they had thought this through together 5 years ago, would they have been able to find another solution?
We all grow frail when we’re elderly. Strong at 59, 69, and even sometimes 79ā¦ but not so much at 89 and 99. I just can’t help but wonder if there could have been another wayā¦ especially if we, in the Western world, were in less denial about what getting older and dying as a super elder really looks like and make plans ahead of timeā¦ exactly for that scenario.
My friends, what I witnessed rocks me to my core!! And it really brought home that I never want anyone making these decisions for me about where and with whom I should live! Thatās why Iām preparing now!!
Does this strike a cord for you too?!? If so, letās talkā¦ because you too can prepare now!
