If you’re feeling down I wouldn’t read the report about what happened to Gene Hackman & Betsy Arakawa but I would recommend that you check in regularly with family or neighbours who are isolated.

Caring for someone with dementia can take a terrible toll on a loved one and it often falls to just one spouse, child, or sister. We need to do more to help support carers.
Cisco Pike is on Youtube - I always remember this as a kid as my dad was a guitarist, was a big fan of Kris Kristofferson and had the guitar tablature book of the soundtrack.
When COVID came I started calling my parents every day, 5 - 10 min check in, they were in their home. Now they've needed to go into assisted living, I still call every day, same time.
Utterly heartbreaking. Seems like she was such a devoted carer, too. She took it all upon herself. Always make that call. It only takes 5 minutes to check all's well.

Profoundly upsetting.

So much so that I have an exit strategy planned.
