Reaching the End

in endings •  6 years ago 

Spending time with my mother today is depressing. I am waiting here for the hospice nurse to visit. I’ve been waiting for several hours.a1drjohnthumb.JPG

Watching soccer and reporting on the outcome has suspense. Watching my mother die has no suspense.

My mother regrets her existence and wishes for death. If she was able, she would commit suicide. She has all the signs:

Sitting here listening to her, I am beginning to form my own signs. I have a few goals to reach before I take that step.

Regardless, I too am reaching the end.

Here is today’s beauty.

I have been through this and all I can say is enjoy what time you have left.

It is normal to have fewer goals when you are older. The time we still have is smaller than the time we spent on earth. It would be a pity if we had many goals because we would never be able to fulfill them all. But you are a father and a grandfather and as such you have a goal. Maybe you think they can do without you, and one day they have to, but now you build up memories for your grandchildren because you can tell them stories about the past, for example, stories about the grandmother they never knew. I hope the present still has good things in store for you!
For now, I wish you all the best with your mother and I hope she will die peacefully when her time has come.

Keep strong and let your mother feel your love! Everything is going to be alright when the time has come.

It's a terrible thing and I've been there so I know some of what you are feeling. My mother is gone now and I will always miss her with all my heart. Hang tight buddy...

Sorry to hear that she feels so bad. Hope you feel better. Just pray that the Lords will be done!
