My mother-in-law (part 2)

Since Wednesday, I have not been sleeping much at night, for fear of receiving a call to break the news.

My mother-in-law's conditions are deteriorating. She could no longer control her bowel. She could not drink or swallow. What left behind are just a set of skeletons and a breath.

The HCA doctor and nurse visited her yesterday. They did nothing except to console the family members. Anybody without any medical knowledge would know that D day is coming.

It is really painful and heart-breaking to see a loved one to be in such a state, so thin, helpless, lifeless.

This is how a person appears at the last stage of its life.
