She still has all his suits hanging in the closet like he's coming back again. Its fucking nutzo.

She lives by herself on a nice estate up in Philly, has everything she needs, but won't travel at all because she became afraid of getting on an airplane again after 9/11, and is seeing less and less of her friends. She's in good health but her mind seems so out of touch with the present.

Every year its more difficult to deal with her and I'm really starting to think she's going senile.

Any suggestions or anyone have this type of situation they deal with?
that sucks.

it sucks more that as we get old we get crazy and stupid, and only the few of us remain sharp
