My sister's son is getting married in Vegas. The trip was planned before her symptoms got into the medium range of Alzheimer's. They have decided to not take her, although most of the family has planned to go. I also have decided not to go, but she is feeling unwanted. Was this the right decision?
My father was very popular with his nieces and nephews. There was a wedding several states away that I planned to attend with my daughter. At the time my father was still living on his own with help from me. I was concerned I would be pressured by relatives to bring him and decided if that was the case I would not attend. I wanted to be a guest, not a caregiver. I had visions of him finding an excuse to go to the ER while we were there.
