My brothers and I had to put my Ma in hospice yesterday. It's been an exhausting couple of weeks for us.

This is the hardest thing I've ever been through. My Dad was sudden, and while it hurt, it was a whole lot easier than this.

Just gut-wrenching. Damn.

It's over. No more suffering now, for her, me and the family.

In other news, we arrived at a new hotel and I knew immediately how to use the shower.  This is a first for me and probably means I'm a douche.
The trick for me when visiting a Euro-shower is to remember NOT to pull the little string.  
The string is there, begging to be pulled, but I've done it enough times to know that I should not pull the string.

Sorry, Badge. I just watched as my fiance's close friend had her mother [already 5 years into early onset Alzheimer's] deal with a minor stroke and brain hemorrhage, and had about 2 weeks of hospice in home with her until she passed. I wouldn't wish caring for someone with Alzheimer's on my worst enemy. 
Best of luck as you deal with her passing.

I will say that the hospice people I have worked with over the years with my Father and Grandparents were absolutely amazing.

I could only aspire to be so kind, compassionate, caring, helpful, and friendly during the toughest times.

On the top of my list for monetary contributions.

I'm still trying to come to some kind of understanding about death.  Someone very close to me just died, which is why I had to go to France suddenly.  It still leaves me empty even if it has not been the crushing experience that was the loss of my son, this was my step son.  He had been depressed, and it had spiraled down, and he took matters into his own hands.

The wife, and it was her biological son, tells me he's happier now.  He was in a lot of pain before, I understood that.  I didn't think he was quite there.  His psychiatrist of several years died from cancer and he couldn't find a person he was comfortable with and then quit his meds.

I don't like it.  My parents have passed on, but they were both 93.  I sort of get that.  I just spoke with another man my age whose son just died of a heroin OD.  He was crushed, but said he half expected it at some point.

I keep wondering what I could have done differently.  My step son and I were close but he had just drifted away over the past couple of months.
