It was all so familar.
The diagnosis, the gradual wasting away of the body, the final weeks/ days whereby even breathing had to be artificially assisted and the patient is too weak to even respond.. till the day of reckoning... when the beeping of the heart monitor finally stops..
It is just so painful for both the sick and the living during the final days/ weeks. I guess it's a relief to both the patient and the loved ones when the day finally comes.
The recent passing on of a friend's mum has brought back all the memories. It was like reliving those final weeks before he left all over again.
It has been a long 6.5 years.
And the pain has not lessened at all.
