@QasimRashid@mastodon.social I wish public transportation was everywhere and felt safe and easy for elders. The conversation about giving up driving wouldn't be about giving up independence.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social Thank you for doing this. We who are sole caregivers for someone, are drowning.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social Took the survey. Thank you, and I'm so sorry for the loss of your parents.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social I would like to see mobility aids de-stigmatized and made more fashionable and less generic/clinical. It’s a small thing, but could do wonders for people’s sense of self to feel good about using these tools instead of feeling like sick people. It would prevent falls caused by the refusal to use them, because right now they represent weakness and infirmity to so many who would benefit from their support.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social Well said. I can’t imagine what you went through caring for your father. I was reminded of Rosalynn Carter’s quote: “There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.”
