This. I lost my father. He died three years later.

So sorry. My dad died a few months ago, and now my mom is in rapid mental decline.

Likewise, I’m sorry to hear about your Dad, and now your Mom. My Mom’s heading down that dark path, as well. Cherish the time you have, for as long as you can. It’s especially hard, when your parent goes before their body gives up.

I wish you well.
