My grandparents are both in their mid-80s and their health is rapidly deteriorating. Grandpa had a minor stroke a couple of months ago and was hospitalized for several weeks. He's out now, but is apparently very feeble. And my Grandma's arthritis has gotten to the point that she can barely walk. Not a good combination. They should probably be in a retirement home/community, but won't hear of it.
I'm always afraid my next visit might be my last.
Add to the mix an elderly aunt in her 70s who is currently in a nursing home recovering from surgery. At least she'll be going home in a couple of weeks, but for now, she's in the nursing home - the same one my other grandma died in after suffering several years of dementia. I have horrid fucking memories of that place and do not look forward to visiting it tomorrow.

Not a situation to have a hang over.
