old age

old age is god's curse on mankind, my mother-in-law is grappling with all the downside of old age, dementia, immobility, senility and loneliness, but bless her her inborn stubbornness provides the energy for her to fight this slide towards death's door. there has been several near miss, but she will always be up and running within days though it is her wish to go, you can't hurry that, that's gods prerogative.it's so painful to watch :- walking around naked, body all shrunken and shrivelled, eyes looking straight far away to noehere in particular, the mouth spouting profanities to the caregiver and uttering inconsequential remarks in a vain effort to be of substance, seeking attention, that's what it is , the need for attention.oh, what a sight, ya allah, when it's my turn to go, please let me go quickly and fuss free.
