I visited my Mother this week

She was a wonderful person, she was the mother of five and kept us all warm. well fed, clean and happy.

Now the youngest of us is in his mid-40s and she in in her late 80s. She's had at least one stroke, and is deeply confused.

She's deeply unhappy, but kept alive by a pile of pills. She's tried to kill herself once, but now she's incapable of doing even that.

My wife has a relation who'se 101 and spends her days in silence staring at the ceiling.

In who's interest?
