A word of advice to all before one of your loved one dies…

We all start out as babies depending on our parents for everything… We grow and grow up until we get through high school and start out on our own new life with our chosen spouse.   We live life as a couple and enjoy being out on our own living life as we see fit.  We become independent; we don’t need guidance, we are proud to be able to handle everything on our own.   Throughout those years we increase our family with all our little ones and watch them grow up into young adults.   We then get to enjoy them start out on their own new life with their spouse.   The day comes when we get to enjoy all our grandchildren.  We then get to enjoy our great grandchildren.  Life is beautiful and we love every minute of it.  Then we enter into our winter years of life.    We get older and don’t have the energy to take care of everything ourselves, so we start depending on each other.  The day then comes that our spouse dies…  Now life changes completely.  We don’t have many errands to do, we don’t have to worry about the health problems of our spouse nor do we have that many things to do that we had to do for two people…

We get to the part in life where we just have to take care of ourselves…   We then realize that we do not have all the energy we once had.   Sometimes we just can’t be so independent anymore.  We need help but don’t want to worry anyone by asking for it.  So we do the best we can do and try to get by until our time ends. Now I started this out as babies always by our parents, then our spouse, our children, then for the first time in our lives we become alone…  That was the point of writing this… To explain…Any older loved one is used to always being with someone then when after several years they are by their selves and become very lonely…  Oh and by the way if you see something that needs done, do it for your loved one even if they say it is okay they will get it…  So please think about this and if you have an older person living by their self-please visit them.  Give them some of your time, even though you are busy, make that time for them… Someday everyone who gets to live to an older age will see what I am saying here in this blog…
