Herson,
I am here for you. My mom is 60 also.... Feeling like you are responsible for your parent's life and well being is harder than I ever imagined. Send me a PM if you want to talk. You and all of the caregivers here are in my thoughts and prayers, along with all of the people we care for every day.
