I'd like to add a different perspective on this - one I struggle with daily. I was a caregiver for four years and I know the journey - it was stressful to say the least for me. Today, I'm a widow and my 86th birthday is coming soon. I'm still very active, live alone, and take care of myself 95% of the time, However, I don't drive anymore, my eyesight isn't as good as it was, and I need a helping hand from time to time. My family is super supportive and willing to step in. My daughter lives nearby and willing brings meals over daily or picks things up at the grocery for me. But I fear I'll need additional assistance in the future and at the same time don't want to depend on them. So, I spend a lot of time figuring out ways to care for myself better now - to minimize the insidious growth of needs later.
