It's so weird being on deathwatch for a parent.
My pop went out the way I would want to: on his easy chair, knowing he had done the best he could for all of us. (He passed away the day after my 18th birthday.) My mom's prolonged decline is not what I would wish for myself or anyone else.
@LiberalLibrarian I'm so sorry. Both my parents had dementia. You're have a rough go of it, as is your mom.
Ohhh my god, Liberal Librarian, I'm so sorry. 😔
I went through it with my Mom, I wish I had words of comfort to share. 😔 💔
I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts. 😔
@LiberalLibrarian My dad died in his sleep, from an aneurism. It was fast and painless. My mother's multi-year decline from Alzheimer's was hell by comparison. I hope that hospice takes good care to make her passage as peaceful as it can be.
@LiberalLibrarian I’m so sorry. I was in your shoes almost exactly 12 years ago. It’s tough.
