Rough Time

Mom hasn't eaten for a week.  She also is getting very little liquid, only what the staff manages to drip down her throat.  In addition, mom hasn't been out of bed since Monday.  She's just sleeping all day and night.

Fortunately, mom is not in pain.  Unfortunately, dad is falling apart before our eyes.  He's not sleeping and can't get through a conversation without crying.  I won't be surprised if dad ends up in the hospital due to exhaustion.

I also won't be surprise if dad passes within a few weeks or months of mom's death.  I knew he would be upset when mom passed, but never imagined the level of distress he's now displaying.

And just when I dared to think things couldn't get worse. . .
