My mom's ALS is progressing very fast. I'll spare all the details, but one arm gone, other arm 99% gone. She can barely shuffle across the floor and only with my dad or I providing total support. Can't feed or toilet herself. Her speech is going quickly as well.
Today it seems as if I am having a terribly tough time. It is so very painful to see her this way. She is 80 and wants to die, as she has so little functioning body parts left.
I know things will get so very much worse before the end comes, and my heart is breaking for her.
My faith ebbs & flows. I know God did not send this on her. I know God doesn't answer every prayer. I know God will give us strength to get through this, but at the same time I cry out to God, asking "where are you".
Mom is so very miserable with her life. Despite my begging, she won't go anywhere.
I guess it's different when you're 80, and have lived your life. She has nothing to fight for, and I understand that.
Just needed to vent a little. Any words of support appreciated.
Thank You
