Being Old Sucks
My elderly neighbor recently went into a nursing home. Yesterday I spoke with his wife. She said they've been married for 67 years and now they're living apart and they're heartbroken. All they want is to live together again, but she doesn't have the care he needs at home. I'm so sad for them. I wish there were something I could do. I was up all night thinking about it. I was hugging Brian tight. I hope that never happens to us.

I know that there are different levels of care at different places, and different living arrangements - is he not a the sort of place where she can move in too? It would be nice if they could stay together but the home would provide the additional care he needs.
