The idea for this thread originated on the thread named "The Caregiver....How are YOU doing today?"

Makes so much sense, I never understood why my mom at 89 is so fearful of death, I just feel like you start accepting it at a point, or you should, you can't have life without death. I thought it would be natural to accept it, especially when you are in pain, and everything becomes such a struggle.

This is my mother and several other family members TO THE LETTER.
I came to a point with both of my parents where our relationship was I'll see you when I see you if I choose to see you. Then when they needed help it was basically I'll help you as much as I choose to and I will be no drama, no disrespect (on their parts), no manipulation, and no games. Or I'm out.
