Answer 1

Si Ray, creo que tienes razon y no tengo una solución pero suspecho es un problema mas frecuente en "western" paises (como Australia) porque en muchos partes del mundo un par de generacións de mismo familia vivirian en el mismo hogar - no?

Yes Ray, I think you are right and I don't have a solution but I suspect it's a problem more prevalent in "western" countries (like Australia) because in many parts of the world a couple of generacions of the same family would live in the same home, wouldn't they? ("Taking care of each other" ...didn't quite know how to express that..)

You are right , so many are dying alone and neglected ,it grieves me , we are all heading in the same direction. - ray76, Apr 16, 2010
