I have been living with a 94 year old woman for the last 2 years.
I have watched her slowly pull into herself over that time. She has stopped talking to people on the phone, stopped talking to visitors (she watches TV) and doesn't go out or if she does, it's to the church service and then straight home afterwards.
I watch this with sorrow- I cannot talk or interact with her as she speaks another language and DH tries his best to start conversations but she shuts him down very quickly.
Is this quality of life? I don't think so. And I don't know when we move out with 6 weeks time what is going to happen. Very sad.
