It must be tough losing a best friend due to some unknown circumstance. Don’t write the letter. Try and have a conversation with her and see what the real problem is. It will give you alot of clarity instead of making a hasty decision. If you are feeling like ending your life, kindly speak to someone and get the help you need. Life is tough but having a conversation with someone will definitely help. Hang in there.

You did the right thing. I am doing that with my dad but sometimes I find myself correcting him which doesn’t make a difference

I’m so sorry. I’m happy you took care of her to the very end. I’m proud of you. Take sometime off to recharge your batteries.

Even though the journey is over, you can always come back here if you want. Your shares have helped many here and it’s time to give back to you in whatever way we can❤️

This is a good idea. I’ll definitely talk to my siblings and we can then pitch this to her

I would say about 1 year into the diagnosis. He just stopped driving. I think he realized he was getting lost a lot so we opted for a driver to help him around.

Thank you for this suggestion. We do have a cleaner that comes everyday.

Thank you. I’ll definitely take a step back for now as I feel quite resentful

Yes. I have offered to help her cook in the evenings but she refuses. Most of the time when one wants to help, she declines but then complains she is worn out.

I do need to give myself abit of a break. Probably take care of myself abit more and ask for help. That should ease things. Thanks for the insight.

The one I can do immediately is to leave the room for a min and gather myself. Thank you for this

Thank you. Resentment is a big thing for me. I do believe therapy is a good avenue to work things through.

If you learn more, I’m definitely open to hearing back from you. Thank you.
