Getting old is sad

Getting old is very sad.

I am a carer for a senile elderly relative and every day I watch them slip further and further away from reality.

At Christmas everyone was sad seeing how much he had deteriorated. How frail he looked, how weak and confused.

This is someone who spent their entire lives caring for each of us, helping us at various times that we needed it, and just always doing the right thing but never getting anywhere from it.
 
Now in old age they have been robbed of their wits, spending everyday getting more scared and confused.

It realy seems to me that getting old is not desirable or worth it.
