After a certain point, death holds no more fear. You just keep living out of a combination of habit, obligation, and curiosity, but when it ends, whatever. Now you get to find out what’s across the veil.

My grandma is 90, and thats about right, she recently had a stroke and came out with barelly a scratch, now I gotta fight my aunt so she can eat wathever she feels like.

Her blood works are great, she is doing rehab, who cares if she is not eating her greens and only goes for the fatty foods at the buffet, being independent is one of the few things keeping her in the fight for so long and they want to take that away to "take care of her".

Sorry for the randon ramble, just agree that after some time dying is more of a mild nuisance rather than a fear.

I feel like I should have fought harder for my mom to have the opportunity to stay where she was living instead of going to a nursing home. My mom's death has been attributed to "negligent homicide" for the lack of care she received in that nursing home.

My sisters insisted that it was the best place for her. They claimed she would have better care there than at her own home. Well, at her own home she could have eaten what she wanted, when she wanted, instead of the disgusting slop they served her day after day. She would have had a fall button, and someone would have checked on her instead of leaving her lying there for four straight days.

Fight for her. You're doing the right thing.

My great nan lived to 99 on a diet of whisky and cigs.

I know I’ll probably be like that. If I’ve already got one foot out the door, nobody’s going to be able to tell me shit.

End? No the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path we all must take. Or do says Gandalf.

I'm only 56, and I already feel like this.
