We couldn't get my MIL out of the hospital for over two months, even though they had no need to be in hospital (beyond having full on dementia) because of how disjointed various services were / are, even though we had everything lined up for them to have round the clock care (which we had to rearrange more than once).
My FIL died suddenly in his sleep, a convenience which was very apposite of the man he was.
My father died at home by choice. Being a doctor he knew how miserable and undignified dying in hospital would be.
Yeah - this bit of middle age is a bit shit.

Middle age is when your parents are proper doolally and you’re trying to get them from hospital into a home. No fucker warns you about this bag of shite on your middle age and the constant black cloud of misery.
