OLD PEOPLE
Save having to get a 'flu jab each year by not queuing outside the Post office every Tuesday morning in the pouring rain and freezing cold for an hour before it opens. They won't run out of money. It's not like the queue outside the butcher's shop during the war.

Just had the worst news about my next door neighbour. She's unlikely to come out of hospital. Her daughter contacted me this morning to ask if she wanted them to resuscitate her if things go critical again. :( :( :( :(

She really seemed to give up after her husband passed away earlier this year. It is so sad :(

Bad news. Some people die only a few months after their partners dead. It is really sad.
She ( your neighbour ) should have something to care for, that makes her life worthwhile to live. You know what I am thinking of: An animal.
How old is your neighbour and what is she suffering ?

She's 71. Unfortunately she is also a heavy smoker that has lurched from chest infection to lung infection for a few months now.

She's had scans etc and there's no cancer, but she wasn't particularly well before her husband died in March and has mostly been very poorly since.

Her first grandchild was born in April and even that didn't seem to give her the need to cope. :(

She has lost a lot of weight and there was nothing of her to start. She's a very petite 4'10" at the best of times.

71's not old, nowadays, especially for a woman. I think you're right and she's just lost interest. :(
