Sven and I moved back to the USA from Europe in 1997 to care for my elderly parents. I’m grateful for the opportunity to help two people I love end their lives with dignity in familiar surroundings. My dad passed in 1999 at 97. This blog is about caring for my mother, Beatrice, known to everyone except my dad as simply "Bea."

I love the way Bea expressed this, and maybe in some way, she thought you how to fly as well.
I've enjoyed Bea's journey so much.
My mother is in long-term care, she is 85, has congenital heart failure, diabetes, kidney disease,,,and her doctor says, its 'touch n go' she can't say if my mom has 1 yr or 6 months, or 1 month. So, I visit often, and enjoy the good days she has.
I know there must be a hole in your heart and I hope you can fill it with Bea's memories and her life. I wish I had known her.
Thank you.
