Denis, enjoy the time you spend with them. Cherish the memories.
They may be losing strength, but how are their mental faculties? IMHO, one of the cruelest ways to go is via dementia/Alzheimers. My grandma grew up dirt poor, and didn't have much schooling, but she was one of the smartest ladies I knew. Dementia started kicking in in her 90s and it was devastating to see her go downhill. I put her in a care home a block away from me, and towards the end, it was difficult to see her in that condition.
A good friend and business mentor came down with dementia a couple years ago and from a vibrant, smart, man of steel, he became a frail old man in several months.
