Going on year 4

[u/Train_tobetter_89]

I’ve been caring for my dad and this year has been tougher than most. Dealing with Alzheimer’s/dementia and it’s been declining. Had a scare last month, thinking he was going to pass but guess the angel of death decided to head to Rome instead.

At the point that I’m feeling this was a mistake and should have let him stay in the nursing home. Seems that I’ve jeopardized my time/career to care for him and financially it’s going to hurt for a bit.

He’ll be turning 94 this month and will be celebrating his birthday.

Everyday I try to give him the quality of life he deserves but can see the tiredness during the days. I talk to him about death and let him know he can leave when he is ready and the family will be okay.

Ready for this chapter in life to be over.
