First dad gets cancer. Now my mom fell and hurt her shoulder. I’ve always seen them as invincible but they aren’t. Dad is 88 and mom is 85. I’m not ready to lose them yet.

Watching parents age is tough. I’m noticing it in my own parents. I hope your mom recovers quickly

I’m so sorry @FatMama. Do they have any nurses or others come help them?

No but they are trying to get into a place where there is some care as needed and where meals are prepared for residents. Wait times are just so long.

Aging is inevitable. Death is healthy when one is old, worn out and ready. I’ll be 76 next month and I am starting to fail in little ways. One just has to recognize it and adjust. Be sure to let them talk about it to you. That will make them think you can accept it.

My dad died 6 yrs ago, he was 56, my mum is about 70 now and i need to help her out, if i had my way i’d have 2 healthy parents until they were over 80, but i am not in control of life and death and tbh idk who is.

I hate when these kinds of things happen, because the only thing running through my mind is the voices did these things to my folks. This accusation comes with good reasons too.

I hope your dad recovers and your mom heals quickly! 
It’s bizarre watching parents become vulnerable and then losing them. I lost my mom over ten years ago now, and my dad has dementia and doesn’t really know me so I’ve lost him pretty much.
Be as joyous as you can with what time you spend with them and try to enjoy every moment. Don’t dwell on the negatives, like the fear of losing them.

Sorry to hear but don’t panic. Be strong for them and help them get the support they need. I know it’s hard seeing setbacks but there’s life in them yet.
