I will be 70 this summer and have lots of arthritis and various other really minor issues. I’m feeling depressed about getting older.
Feeling the Pain
Read more…Dearie:
From time to time, I hear people giving advice about how to talk with loved ones about end-of-life issues. It’s possible that my mother will live on for years, but her health seems to have declined a lot in the past year. I have this nagging feeling that I haven’t talked with my mother about what’s important to her — but I’m not sure how to ask the questions. I’m also wondering if there are things I’ll wish I had talked with her about once she’s gone.

Dearie,
I saw my neighbor scrape another car while she was driving and didn’t stop. It’s not the first time. And from conversations I can see she’s experiencing memory problems. My husband says I should stay out of it. What do you think?
