It's like things go on around me but I'm not part of them.

I'm numb to the pain waiting for me, numb to the people who don't notice I am reaching to them because my arms are weak, shoulders heavy. It's okay. I know no one will be there for me anymore. I can maybe get transportation to and from surgery. It's supposedly my fault but it isn't, but I must still pay like it is because that makes people comfortable enough to tolerate my existence. I wish my mom was alive. A bit more scraps thrown in the dirt but no one to fight with. I will have lived and died with so much love that nobody ever wanted. I believed all this time, all these lies I told myself, of worth and purpose. Maybe that is the blessing, to not be devastated from the other side because I already know, I was meant to die alone. And people heard me say this and still let me, the end.

I wish I could help. I sort of know what you;re going through -- for 40+ years my wife has always been there to support me, but now with her dementia I feel basically alone, my main support gone.

@ChipmunkErnie I lost my mom to dementia. I'm very sorry you are going through this. It is SO hard and painful and haunting. Just know that she is still in there in spirit, her love and support. I know it's not enough. Scraps of the person you love...

We are loved in a different way now. It's just that it feels so empty because we were once loved so much.
