My parents are in there 50s but I have no relationship with them so im Gucci
She goes to the gym a few times a week but she spends most of her time watching tv to the point she barely sleep 4 hours a night. As soon as she’s back on her feet I’m going to be more proactive to help her find activities

She took care of you and now it's time to return the favor.
If she was a great mom to you take care of her.
I did the same for my mom. Had to put my life on hold to care for her and I have NO REGRETS.
You only get one mom.
This is facts, everyone is going through it for one reason or another. Whether it’s Money, health, family, elders, kids, theres always something to be stressed about

So what are we going to do about it?
Make sure your parents have long term healthcare. Make sure they have means for elder care. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE LIFE INSURANCE ON HOUR PARENTS!!! Some sort of policy beats them dying leaving you with debt!! Even if you don’t have to beg to bury your parents is a win. Would be nice if they left you 300k though wouldnt it?
make sure they have a will.
black people have to stop being afraid to prepare for death.

Your lucky that your mom is alert, up and moving.
I had a homegirl who took care of her bed bound father. She had to feed him, change his soiled diapers, brother had to help her carry him into the shower to bath him, etc etc. Pretty much what someone said in this thread. They're a baby again but she loved her father 100%.
Check what kind of insurance she has because there are programs and services out there where nurses and CNAs will come help you a few days out of the week.
Not if you get your money right early
real talk...mine are in their early 70s...this year is a sobering reminder of it through different things ive noticed in each of them
