Caring For Aging Parents Support Group

Your father has quite a burden. His mother and his wife both ill and he is doing all the caregiving? At his age he may die before his mother because the caregiving takes years off of a person's life in just a few months. I'm sure that since you are disabled and live where there is socialized medical care, you can make inquiries as to where your father can get help. Perhaps you have a social worker you see who can make recommendations. In any case, it's a no brainer that you father is doing too much. He definitely needs help. Let us know how things progress. Take care.

Thank you mugsini. What every I do will have to be fairly incognito for the time being as I don't want to put his back up and cause any resistance. I'll certainly start making a few enquiries and keep you informed.

Your father certainly does have his hands full, but he needs outside resources. Would he be willing to check out elder supportive services? Given his age, he needs all the help he can get. My prayers to you and your family. *Hugs*
