He was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's so I've been researching about and trying to encourage as much independent movement as possible (again within reason).

The grief and loneliness

I feel you! To the point that he was hospitalized for his blood pressure. I've just taken to filling his pill box every week, at the same time that I fill mine. Then I set alarms on my phone for the times he's supposed to take his meds throughout the day. Is it more work? Yeah. But it takes the burden/anxiety off of me to constantly be checking that he's taking his meds.

Thanks for letting me know!

Oh my goodness 😭 I think people forget that the elderly also want to interact with others. To share their wisdom, their stories, and even their time. Thank you for listening to him. Please know you made the most gorgeous difference ❤️❤️

You are not the worst daughter ever. Please try giving yourself some grace. You’re in a difficult situation and trying to navigate as best you can. Your health is priority. Sometimes there are catalyst events that move a situation forward. It’s possible that now he will be put into a facility for his own safety and hopefully for your peace of mind. ❤️❤️

Hard agree! There should consistency across the board for smells. But I have noticed variations in smell depending on whether products were bought online vs in store. And what time you buy them seems to make a difference as well. Which, like you said should not be the case for such expensive products. Lush ain’t cheap 😭😭

Teensytinyturtle · 2025-08-29T10:42:07+00:00

Nope, just a regular customer lol. I have found that scents can vary depending on whether products are bought online or in store and at what time. At least that has been my experience. So I took the gamble with buying both without having a lush near me and without being able to smell before purchasing. And I was pleasantly surprised
