Two weeks with my dad, virtually 24/7, after his stroke was a humbling and eye-opening experience. At 91, how does he deal with this and how do we, his family, deal with this.
Years ago, I watched a video about a nomad tribe. When an elder realized she was no longer able to contribute to the tribe, but would become a burden, she simply sat down and waited to die as they moved on. We are nomads. We are constantly on the move, running errands, going to work, vacationing. Families are spread across the globe, all living their lives.
I've realized I need to anticipate the likelihood of a time when I no longer can contribute and am a burden and simply find a way to sit down and die.
