Ep 73 My Dad Jerry - Dalene Higgins
Dalene's Father passed first very quickly after a fall that then revealed heart failure and possible bladder cancer at the age of 89. He was the caretaker at the time for her Mother who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. As a family, they took over that caretaker role for 14 months until she passed at the age of 88. After Dalene's Mother passed, she hit a real deep depression and she believes it took this long because she was the executor and had a lot of responsibilities immediately after both of their deaths. Coming up on her Father's 3 year anniversary was when it hit her hard and then two months later she was better able to handle her Mom's anniversary day.
