Let me tell you about a different kind of grief. Yesterday I moved my elderly sister into a retirement home. She has been in hospital for 3 months and it has been a rough go. At 89 and widowed for 5 years, she is beginning to lose her interest in Life. Because of health issues and because I can see her slipping along the dementia hill, this move was absolutely necessary. She has no children, our other sister is in Texas – so she’s got me.
