>>91603043Personally she's kind of been "dead" to me for awhile now, just because like you said, she's not herself anymore. The person she once was is just gone now. So I've done my crying for the loss awhile ago.
That sounds a bit cold, but it's the way I deal with it.
Taking care of her from now on is basically more like just doing what I "owe" her for the years of our relationship. It's almost like taking care of her belongings, in a way... I don't mean it to sound psychopathic, it's just seeing someone like that is both depressing and terrifying.
My mom, on the other hand, when or if I have to do that for her, that's when I'm gonna be having a real hard time. With her I've spent the majority of my life in the same house. For that I don't know how the hell I'll be able to handle it, and I have a lot of respect for her because of how strong she's been handling her own mom's descent.
>>91602970I'm not a fan of drugs but with all these old folks, I'd actually support just putting marijuana in their oxygen masks or something, they're already so far out of their minds and doped out on painkillers, might as well just make their last days extra relaxing. There's no mind left to damage.
