like fair is a natural concept

This is how we die sometimes.

Slowly. Confused. Angry to be giving up control. Tired. Conflicted. Disoriented.

Mostly we just want to wake up one day, dead. I guess it happens like that sometimes, not that I've ever seen it.

Dignity can be lost in a whole host of scenarios. Losing the ability to make decisions for herself seems to be happening at the moment for Aunt Grace. I will pray that the person who is now responsible does the right thing, whatever the hell that is.

What a difficult year for you. But at least you have learned something important: you have seen what is good and bad about the decisions your family members have made, both for themselves and for each other. I'll bet you have a much clearer picture of what you want your last days to be, so you can share that with everyone who will listen.

God bless you, sweetheart. ((hug))

Damn, just catching up on your blog and it looks like you've had a pretty rough span lately.

Hang tight, do what you can for yourself (you can't help any other people if you are the basket case), and remember that spring is a time of renewal.

I wonder if death is what we make it, like life? If we view death as peaceful, even in the face of adversity, will it be so?
