Remember, We Will All Be Old Someday. If We're Lucky. Or Maybe Not That Lucky

Aging sucks, and aging and getting sick and inform sucks worse, but there's very little affordable help for caregivers in that situation. Take this elderly couple, with the wife suffering a stroke and ending up in an assisted living facility. The husband was so torn by having to put his wife in a home and being unable to care for her himself that he shot her to death and killed himself. Really, this society makes it very, very hard on the elderly, and unless you're very, very rich, health catastrophes can leave your final years in a shambles. (WESH-TV/Orlando)
