While getting old in its own passage is a beautiful thing, why does it have to sometimes be filled with scary and awful things that can foster paranoia and sadness too?  |
You and your parents remain in my prayers. You all have some tough choices right now, but I know you will find the best solution. Just know that if necessary, there are some excellent places for rehabilitation/ transition care. It doesn't have to be a sad experience if you can find the right place to help her.
