--I'm sorry to hear about your father. I hope he died peacefully.
--en,He knew it was coming and he had a good life. He'd been sick for about a year.
Luckily, there wasn't much pain.
--So how was your mother?
--She isn't taking it well. Even though she knew it was coming. she has a hard time without him.
--She says how the house seem so empty, and she feels useless.
--I can imagine. Does she have many friends?
--She has a few. But she has never been very social. Maybe she'll get out a little bit more now.
But I don't think that's very likely. She is also beginning to lose her memory.
--Oh,That's too bad. My mom is losing her memory too. Sometimes she doesn't know who I am.
She mixes me up with my sister.
--Does she live by herself?
--She did until about a year ago. Then we had her come and stay with us.
--How is that working out?
--It was Ok at first, but now with her memory problems, it isn't working.
--We are thinking about putting her into a senior living community.
It's expensive.But it can provide her with support she needs.
--You may have to do that too. My husband and mother don't get along at all.
--He can't relax when she is around. When I mention it to him he said he would consider it, but only if it were for a very short time.
--Well, I'm sorry you have to deal with that. It doesn't seem like there are any good choices.
--I'm afraid that's right. We are getting older too.
This is another reminder of our mortality. 死亡数，死亡率; 必死性，必死的命运
You are no longer children.So now it's our turn to take care of our parents.
---The way I see it ,it's a reminder for us to enjoy life while we can.If you like ,I can send you information about some senior communities.
--Please do. we need to start making plans.There are waiting lists to get into some of them, so you shouldn't wait to apply.
