[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've posted before but my dad has dementia and lives in a nursing home. He's been there a year and is in a painfully slow decline. I go between wanting him to just die so we all can be at peace to feeling guilty for feeling that to imagining how it will feel when he does die. He's very much dead in a sense but still lingers. Compounding it all is that we never were close and he was abusive...[/quote] Similar to my situation but it's my mom. It's so hard. OP - just take it day by day and cherish the time you have left. Yes, easier said than done. Also, take joy in your own children and let yourself be occupied by their own needs - a total distraction but helpful. [/quote]
