Realizing the luxury of "Someday I'll get around to doing this, going there" et al. is no longer an option, simply for lack of enough time and health. Big fear of mine to

Having experienced the effects firsthand while my great grandmother was still alive...it's definitely something I hope I don't get. I can't imagine living your whole life only to forget your experiences.  yes its terrible. my grandma is in the early stages she is aware her mind isnt what it was. the other week she told me she is frightened, she says when your mind is gone there is no dignity.  | |

Irrelevance.
Nobody seems to care about old people, and more than that, they don't want to be reminded of what happens to all of us eventually, so they ignore them. My Legacy

Stay alert, keep active. Not so bad? Then tell me how to defy gravity!!!! I mean at least I'll have boobs when I'm 60 but I'll need an implant to keep them from looking like pancakes. Can't help you there darling! I am starting my gravity pull, and hopefully I can take it like a lady with grace, and dignity. My jowls are starting to sag but oh well. ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown | |

Having experienced the effects firsthand while my great grandmother was still alive...it's definitely something I hope I don't get. I can't imagine living your whole life only to forget your experiences. my nan has early stages of dementia, she has good days, but has days when pop is alive - he passed away eleven yrs ago 
watching another loved one suffer cancer (or any fatal disease) would b my worst nightmare, losing dad last year (at 58) was rough. selfish one, my arthritis getting worse as i get older, and not being able 2 function.... i dont want 2 be burden on my one and only son, that wouldnt b fair im extra nice 2 him, after all, he'll be choosing my nursing home one day seems that i was busy doing something close to nothing, but different than the day before   | |

I don't know, I look at both my grandmas in their 90s, and they are both doing OK, they look great still, they aren't fragile in the way one imagines frail old ladies. One actually got improved eyesight at the age of 96 and is suddenly doing crosswords again, with great fervour | |

Stacey said that your willy shrinks when you get older so Im definitely not looking forward to that. but the baths must obviously be great wank-bank material for the poor old duffers. Even if you have a small pecker you should still be able to wank I suppose. look at monkeys. | |

I love old people and actually seek their company often. My grandmother will be 99 in December. She has dementia and cannot remember who I am, but honestly, she is a very peaceful person, almost pure spirit at this point. I was missing her so I decided to volunteer at an home of elders near my house. This puts a lot of things into perspective. We are all a part of it and not separate from it. Life is impermanent, the body decays and we die. Why not accept this as part of the process? Taking care of other old people makes me feel that I, too, will be taken care of, even if I am 100% physically dependent on them. It is not shameful to grow old and lose our abilities, it is natural. The old people I work with are severely disabled -- they have Muscular Sclerosis, Parkinsons... They cannot speak or walk or eat. But they inspire me. No matter how disabled they are, they continue to have goals, to have interests, to be individuals. They have an amazing take on history, having experienced it themselves. They have wisdom.
If old age is so terrifying, I suggest you visit some old people and help them out. It's a great antidote to these fears. It helps you appreciate your youth and to accept your old age when it comes. Life and beauty are impermanent. Everything fades. | |

Life and beauty are impermanent. Everything fades. yeah old people are just as happy & unhappy as the rest of us. Folks with dementia live in the moment and react more honestly to their surroundings than anyone except maybe children. Still, working with people w/dementia hasn't stopped my fears of getting it. I guess the scary thing is seeing how hard it is on the people around them. Some take it better than others but most caregivers find it to be a really hard job, and not as rewarding as raising children, unfortunately. My Legacy
