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.

My Mum is growing older, very capable, but I catch slips in memory, here and there. I try to be conscious of them, but also respect her ability, as I want her to have it as long as possible - and she is quite healthy. It's a delicate balance.

@SW-User yeah memory can be tricky but I'm glad she's well.

@SW-User Yes, thank you. Her mother, my grandmother, lived quite well on her own into her 80s, had a remarkable ability even in her 90s to make sense, though gone in her ability to remember anything. So, I'm hoping my concern is not something to be concerned about.
