I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. My mom is 84, and she's
starting to have memory issues. We're starting to have conversations
regarding driving, her desires for how care is going to look over the
next couple of years, and managing her finances (and her sister-in-law,
who's in full-time memory care and my mom is taking care of *her*
finances...)

Thankfully, she's 5 minutes away and I'm working from home, so I've been
able to manage most of her needs. I'm concerned about what happens when
I travel on business or if I end up taking a job "over the hill" - I
live on the California coast, about an hour from Silicon Valley.
