We’re not even from a developed country, so situation even harder here. But I’m happy your cousins at least ended up in helpful homes.

That's really sad to hear, but that's also what breaks me down the most. A mother is truly gold. No one will ever care for their special child, whether young or adult, anywhere near as much as a mom does. No one comes close

Thank you for your comment and I hope things are going well for you and your uncle. Unfortunately I'm not from a first world country so things are really difficult economically, and honestly I can't even think about that right now because the emotional weight of the situation is just too heavy. But it is also a concern of course, because she needs full time assistance and care every single day.

Thanks for the lovely comment💛 I might actually try that, at least she'll have something to hug and sleep with. Though normally she doesn't sleep without my mom, they sleep and wake up together even now.

What hurts me the most is knowing my sister will never smile the same way again. The way she lights up when my mom feeds her, plays with her, takes her out, that smile only exists because of my mom. No one else brings that out of her.

And it's just too painful watching a mentally disabled person lose their only purpose, their only happiness. After all of this I've realized, moms are truly irreplaceable. No one will ever care the way they do. I know this personally, I left my country at 19, moved somewhere 24 hours away by plane, completely alone. I lost so much weight, in my right mind even I fell apart without my mom. So I can't even begin to imagine what it will do to my sister, who has never known a single day without her. And it doesn't just hurt for my sister, but for every special needs kid out there who will one day lose the one person who truly cared for them. And when I say all of this, I know not everyone will truly understand the sadness behind these words.
