It is frustrating to work with a language where all the speakers are very elderly. During the time I have been working on the language one very good speaker has died, and another came close to death but now is fine...it can be discouraging and a little scary. Also on a practical level, they're all sort of deaf so that's been an obstacle.

The field has collectively recognized in the last 10, 20 years what has been true for a long time but came into everyone's consciousness recently-that a huge amount of languages in the world are going to be dead in 50 to 100 years.
