Prime, I can relate to what you are going through. Over the last 20 years I have gone through my father in law dying from stomach cancer. He never made it to our wedding. My mother in law going into a clinical depression, after we came back from our honeymoon, and basically have taken care of her including having to move in with her, with our two daughters. She is now starting to show signs of Dementia. My mother passed away from Alzheimer's after 7 years. Thank god my father and brother were around to be the main caregivers. My father passed away 8 years ago,just missed his 90th birthday by 2 weeks. My brother who was Bipolar and had addiction problems was killed, hit by a car 3 yrs ago, while living in my condo 1 block away while crossing the street. You my friend are not alone.
I know I am not alone. I wish for the sake of others I was alone in this.
It is inevitable that as we age, we experience more illness and death. I've lost my mom, dad, step-dad, sister, beloved aunts, uncles and grandparents plus a lot of friends in my lifetime. My mom lived with us for three years when she was dying from emphysema. That was no picnic. She was not an easy person to have around, but she was my mom and I loved her.
