What do I do when I'm over 90 years old?!

It seems sad that a weak human being over 90 years old lives, but some people are trying to live hundreds of years with the development of technology and medical science. How can we live long without dying? Scientists are constantly studying this.

 

I respect all my patients over the age of 90. How can we manage ourselves to live like that? Think about it. They were generally healthy, now, they have mild dementia, but, when they were young, their mental health was good. They kept a good relationship with friends and family. Their houses were well organized. They ate healthy foods. They did light exercises every day.

 

However, if you are looking at these people, you can find that they haven’t been able to sleep at night because of the pain. Their right shoulders, waists, and, knees still hurt a lot. Also, their spouses die first, and then they end up living alone. What's more sad is that sometimes their children over 70 die first. An old lady has an only child and he died. The death of the child is heartbreaking. She will still be dealing with the loneliness for a long time. One has to endure physical and mental pain, for example whenever the old lady eats with a spoon, she has pain in her joints. That is the last stage of our lives. Personally, I have a hard time while I am charting after visiting with these patients. This is because I have to write as if I’m drawing pictures on detailed documents. The sorrow of the heart is drawn deep within my own.

 

Should humans live this long? An oncology doctor said, "Is it a good way to treat a patient? After a long life as a cancer treatment, you should die when your children are loving you and respecting you. But when you live too long, you live a tough and ugly life. I want you to be happy and have your children happy, not to be treated wrong and live too long.”

 

We are desperately thinking of how fragile human beings are and how much the Lord's grace is, because I have to follow the same way soon.
