Must be really hard to be an elder that depends on others too much 😔

To have your medication.. To be reminded to take it.
To be showered by others .. Etc.

Must be really tough.

Being human isn't easy. I think we forget about our weaknesses, our bodies etc.
Sometimes pain reminds us that we're fragile. At any age but more when you're elder. Or have health conditions.

It's so very sad.
Medicine can keep them alive but can never give them a quality of life that they need.
I do not ever want to see that happen to me. I'd rather not live than live that way.

@SW-User very hard really. I feel that's a topic that very few people talk about or even think.

@SW-User It's a topic that has been very much on my mind lately with my mother being so unwell and so frustrated with the medical system.

@SW-User it's difficult to think though, like one would like to avoid all those situations but I also want to live and see life and see the ones I care about too...
Even if the body becomes a problem.
Cause in the great scheme of things life isn't that long. Sometimes it feels loong

@SW-User You've got to be really strong willed and brave to go through something like that, having your dignity stripped from you, reliant on other people and so on.
I don't think I am that brave. I hope to make the most of every little time I have in the meantime.
And oh.. lol.... I am crazy healthy so I hope that can buy me a lot of time with people I love. 😂 I do a lot to take care of my health. I hope you do the same.

@SW-User yes, with my personality, being so dependant on others would truly be something I wouldn't be able to to take. So let's we stay ok considering everything.
And just live day by day 🥰🥰 we don't know anything else.

@SW-User Amen. ❤️
