For those of you who do not know, I live with my grandmother. I see her aging now everyday. Since my mother passed 12 years ago she has been like a mother to me. She has been my rock, my safehaven and my shelter. Now I see the roles reversing. I know I should expect this but it's very hard to see someone so strong becoming needy much like a child.
Her sister passed away Friday. She was 88 but had a sudden stroke so it was unexpected but expected in a sense. She was raised her with her family in this small town we live in. Everybody has been buried and the same cemetary. Yesterday she couldn't find the cemetary or tell me where it was. I realized at that point and have sort of thought this at other points that she is fading on me. It hurts me to see this happening to her.![]()
Anybody else have experiences firsthand with aging parents or grandparents your cared for?

is that they caught his disease in the early stages. Now all I can do is hope for the best but plan for the worst. One of the many things I've learned from all of this is its never too young to plan ahead.
