The conversation that nobody wants to have.

Hi Mrs Elton, I agree with Jules and Sailor in that you need constantly be asking for assistance. Often it is there but we just aren't sure how to access it. I have had the converstion with my 83 year old parents - they are both very pragmatic people and my older brother has had power of attorney for some years. I guess it often depends on the personality of the poeple involved. Continuing to think of you and your family. Merkel, I hope that you and your family are doing ok. Samex (with digital hugs)
