Life Of Norman Wisdom Aged 92¾

[@AbulHussain-hh9rg]

If your father can help you take your first step in life. Why not help him take his last.

[@Koodayengine]

Most men don't have a father past 40 years, this is why life is not like this for men, and life is not for men

[@raven_ous2585]

Me and my dad were so alike. I was his mini me, even though I'm female. I promised him he would never be put in a home. I fulfilled that promise. I lost him 2 years ago, aged 96. Miss you SOOOOOO much, my lovely little dad 💋💔

[@TheHorsebox2]

Sounds like he had a great daughter.

My dad's 80 this year. We never got on when I was younger .but he's mellowed with age. I worked in an OAP home when I was 16 .and it was horrendous .I WOULDN'T WISH IT ON MY WORST ENEMY LET ALONE MY PARENTS .we owe it to them regardless to give up a couple of years if they need us. THEY AFTER ALL .GAVE US LIFE IF NOTHING ELSE !!😂

[@petecernan2568]

Well done to you

[@autisticdrone.]

Until a couple of years ago, I had worked in a care home for the elderly for nearly 26 years. In my opinion, honestly, after all i’ve seen, you made the best decision for your dad. More people should care for their parents at home, even if they need agency home carers as well ( but closely supervised ). 👍

[@newlanky2]

bloody hell they make it look like a chore and an inconveiniance to look after there own FATHER what a bloody shame, RIP norman.

[@englishmadcow7461]

Spoilt brats tend to follow with famous parents sadly.

[@anitarogers2877]

@newlanky2 - They made a 'huge meal' out of it. Their plan to re-arrange their families and marriages in order for one of them to move to a different island! So that one of them, his daughter-in-law no less, could go and look after him! Meaning she 'abandoned' her 12 year old son in the process. Surely them arranging for the extra support of having paid carers attend daily to help his long suffering PA ,who became his Carer, would have been far easier all around. I'll watch the rest now, to see how they adapted.

[@spiritwolf851]

I agree he couldn’t have been that bad to take care of he’s a comedian and a famous actor of course he might seem slightly absorbed in himself a lot of actors and actresses are, but that’s just the way it is that doesn’t make sense a bad person and that doesn’t make them unbearable to be around. That’s just their personality.

[@spiritwolf851]

And Norman seems to be a pretty happy lucky man for the most part making jokes of everything

[@concreteart1111]

Don’t judge. I looked after my folks for years once they got dementia. It was the hardest thing I’ve had to do. Carers everywhere deserve medals the size of bin lids.

[@PaulaBilby]

I am finding it very difficult to watch this video, especially when Normans Daughter and Son does not understand that their Father has Dementia. Snapping at her Father about it being a long time since he rode his motor bike. Normans memory is that he rode his motor bike just the other day, and nothing will convince him otherwise, and that is Dementia. I had the pleasure of meeting Norman before Dementia struck, a wonderful kind soul. RIP Norman.

[@naturesrhythm8506]

Yes, that was hard. They don't seem to know how to relate to him. Bless him.

[@Honestreview2932]

No idea how to relate to him. He paid for private education and no doubt they're homes. The daughter by the looks of it spent it on botox... little bit self obsessed with herself.. me, me, me.

[@leonreaper90]

I hope Norman left his children out of his Will. If I had children and they treated me like that I'd tell them to fuck off. I would have given it to the daughter-in-law Kim. Cares for him more better than his biological kids.

[@elizabethsamways7624]

Nothing would of been more pleasure than look after a parent. Lost my dad 9 years ago and the care I gave him was precious quality time that I will never see again.

[@APSPROP]

So sad to watch. Norman deserved better. His children evidently embittered from there fathers divorce. His grandson abandoned by his own mother because Normans own flesh and blood are far too up themselves to accept responsibility.

[@goodmoaningvietnam1439]

As a young lad I delivered Norman's daily newspaper, and one day mum asked if I'd met him. No was the answer but the very next morning while walking back to my bike, the bedroom window opened and Norman yelled at me. "What are you doing here" I replied "delivering your newspaper" He then threw half a crown that landed on the lawn, closed the window and was gone. It took me ages to find that coin.

Going to see a Norman Wisdom movie was the highlight of my childhood!

[@manichairdo9265]

I remember seeing Norman's house on TV. It was beautiful. My late auntie developed senile dementia. Her twins lived and worked hundreds of miles away. They paid £1000 per week for 24/7 care in her home, staffed by people she had known. They took her for walks every day and short trips to the beach or to classy places for lunch. The twins flew up to be with her every 2nd weekend in turn for 13 years. And during their holidays throughout the year. Relatives there also had her for lunch and special family occasions. Norman's family could have done more to make Norman's life at home comfortable. It didn't have to be the way it was. RIP Norman. RIP Auntie Eileen.

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

Caring for an elderly parent at home, keeping them OUT of an assisted living facility (we did this with our Mum, until she passed peacefully in her bed, at 95) will bring out the best - and the worst in people. My sister and I did not 'argue' about it - we both lived near each other here in NYC, once we were denied any help (from Medicaid which did not lift a finger to help us) - we rolled up our sleeves, sharing mum's care. I will say it was heartwarming, heartbreaking, appalling, infuriating, life changing, hysterically funny, spiritually uplifting, instructive, exhausting, and so much more. I pity people who do not have the chance to care for an elder beloved. Their lives are the poorer for not doing it. I am writing a book about the four years we looked after Mama Lu. Great program. Although I am a Yank, I was familiar with the films of Norman Wisdom. He was not that well known here in the US, sorry to say. Because he was... brilliant!!

[@charlotterockel-kennedy8913]

always loved sir Norman. I don't know if anyone on here has read his autobiography but he had custody of his children when they were quite young and he and his wife were divorced. Norman had a brutal childhood but did his best with his children. what a way to repay him. couldn't his son have got a manager to run his sport shop whilst he was in the Isle of Man. why couldn't Jackie sort her divorce from the Isle of Man? I hope that if they both make old bones they remember the selfish attitude and neglect they put on their father when he needed some care.

Both my parents lived into their 90's and yes we too had to deal with Alzheimers, cancer etc. Truely, getting old really sux. When a parent gets to 'that' stage *they need professional care*, not siblings, with crap in their own lives, trying to be do-gooders. Ferrchrissakes, his son couldn't even organize a supervised bath/shower FOR HIS DAD! If professional care was there, he'd be in, washed, dressed and downstairs watching 'footy' in no time. You can still see the softness in Norman's eyes. I hope to meet him someday, wherever, and thank him.

[@michelleprior5153]

Selfish and cold daughter and the son cld have done much more. Poor Norman, a lovely lovely man, comic genius, beautiful voice and a legend. What a way to end his life. God rest his soul x

[@alanhindmarch657]

I never actually meet Norman but, Norman’s sister lived near one of my Uncles. Norman visited my Uncle in his last days in a Nursing Home. We have a photograph of Norman with my Uncle. Norman would have seen what it was like in the Nursing Home and wouldn’t have liked it. Before anyone says anything my Uncle had no Children and his wife had died, the rest of his relatives lived over 300 miles away.

[@jojoscogsable]

Bless him . Just read he passed I. 2010.. R.I.P.

[@kevinhiggins3080]

The man was immensely talented. Great singer, wrote songs, comedian, stunt man and very good actor as well as boxer of repute. Anyone who is critical of him probably has not an ounce of his talent.

[@carlosbent5046]

I grew up watching this man very funny 😂love him rip rest in paradise 🙏🥰🐐🌎☯️

[@orchardist6559]

Norman's career sure seems to have provided a very lucrative life-style for two dour ingrate offspring, unlike the very hard conditions of Norman's early life before his enormous success. Allowing for the difficulties that extreme age can bring, Norman retains his sense of humour throughout.

Norman Wisdom Autobiograpy is spot on I have read the book over and over again. When i was a child i was fortunate enough to see Norman at a charity event I just stared in orra of him. For my 21st Birthday I wanted to see Norman who was at Davenport Theatre he was amazing doing all the stunts on stage. Thankyou Norman for making me happy and laugh through my life. It broke my heart when they did a documentary about Norman and his family in his later years. The only person who shown any carring for Norman was his Daughter- in -Law Kim. His daughter Jacki came across very selfish. I wish he was my Dad I would of looked after him to the end. God Bless you Norman a very talented English man who the world will remember forever.

[@godnows4430]

you look after your parents no matter what they brought you up so you need to not let them down

[@jackieevans8852]

god nows no way I come from an abusive home and not way would I look after them 2 they can rot

[@juliebarks3195]

@@jackieevans8852 Norman put on an act to make the world love him. His children are a different story and who really knows what that is. All that glitters is not gold.

[@binkybill577]

For 92 he looks great and physically stills amazing. Seems like he's he was just starting to age.

[@enochpowelghost]

Norman you are loved by so many

[@derby1263]

he certainly was a true Trooper. Even in This documentary he can play up to the cameras to make us all laugh. You can do that by just looking at me. He has such a beautiful characteristic face will go down in history as one of a true comedians. Such a sad loss. I wish it was my dad add. I would not let him out of my sight. I just love to listen to a stories. But this will now never be be a great loss to TV and film god bless you Norman you're loved missed respected

Davisons ice-cream on a bench at Peel, lovely I have done that many times.

[@solcutta3661]

It's often true that strangers treat u better than family.

[@MrGranfield]

Strangers are normally paid whereas family aren’t.

[@albaproductions9602]

Oh when Norman put the hat i just burst into tears

[@user-vu4tr5tw3b]

When I was young I always watched Norman Wisdom on television when I was young love him to bits the best man ever

[@ste9071]

It saddens me that his loved ones were happy to live off of the fruits of his labour, use his name on their business and in other ventures, but cannot take care of him in his final years. They display a sense of coldness towards him, particularly his Son. What he ought to remember is that Norman was once able bodied and independent. Removing this through illness and age, particularly his ability to drive, will have driven him nuts, yet no compassion from his Son what so ever. RIP Norman, a great, a legend, and a star. Shine bright Sir ❤

[@43sedge]

disgusting how the children have treated this great hard working man

[@thecatsarse]

when you love your mam and dad enough and be grateful for everything they did for you including bringning into this world and devoting themselves to the first 20 years of your life to looking after you(20 years of someones life is a big deal for everyone!),we should all be prepared to do anything and everything for our folks when they need us.

[@Poodlemama1234]

My mother is in a dementia unit in a lovely care home. We tried to look after her, but the baggage that came with being family was too much. Better she’s happy in a place where she is cared for by people who don’t know the past, than at home with us and everyone being miserable. We are all human, and we all make mistakes, but we can only do our best within circumstances.

[@sarahlowe8922]

That little bioy should not have been separated from his mum

[@thomaspenman4101]

You should feel guilry what gives you the right selling his cars ect without telling him GREED
