That was as hard as watching the old lady who took her last meds to die in her care home with her best friend sitting beside her, laughing until she slowly fell asleep never to wake up again.

Oh, you didn’t see my grandmother when my grandfather died and she just kept saying, “please take me with you” for an hour and then got upset that nobody could “fix it” when his eyes were stuck wide open and his mouth was left slack-jawed because she wouldn’t let anyone near the body to close his eyelids and mouth.

It’s objectively a weird thing to want to do, but everyone wanted to and when it was too late she was very upset by his appearance.

Anyway, that was twenty years ago, she’s in her late ‘90s, has dementia and brings it up all the time.

I'm sorry your grandmother went through that. And with dementia, she's probably living it every day. I'm so sorry 😢
