Getting older...and living alone

[crafters_corner]

Pretty personal questions there lindyloo. Why do you want to know? You worried about something?

I was a genuinely interested question really, but I do wonder what will become of me, if and when I can't live on my own. The only reason would be, is if I got sick, and couldn't look after myself.

My Mumsy went into a resthome/hospital, and I hated it for her. She only lasted in there for about 2 weeks, when she passed away from terminal cancer, but it was sooner than we expected, and I'm glad (if you know what I mean) that she wasn't there for that long, as I know she would have hated it, and that is what upset me the most.

It would never have worked, her living with me. We loved each other, but we would clash sometimes, and we could easily have fallen out of love with each other..:-). I would never want my girls feeling like they have to have me either. We have had 'that' talk, so I don't worry about that so much, as where will I go? Who will take care of me? Will I end up somewhere, where I will be miserable.

Yes, I do worry about this quite a bit.
