i am 29 years old, i know this elderly man who is 80 for 1 year, he is a kind and loving person, he has no children, a widower, his other family members never visit. I was the only friend he has, 4 weeks ago he fell in his house, i started doing shopping for him, taking him to hospital, but now he expect me to do this all the time, like today i went out with my friends after dinner, he was very upset that i didn't shop for him, he called me and said he is very sad that 'old people get forgotten by others', i feel guilty but i also know its not my responsiblity to look after him, i asked him if he have any plan for his future, he has none, but he will never go to nursing home, or asisstant living, or meals on wheals as he doesn't trust any strangers! so what should i do? i have my life to live but i can't discard him
