Re: ~This Sounds So Terrible Of Me, Please Forgive Me

You have been one of the best caregivers I have ever known. And I know you will continue to be, but you are tired and hurting. Watching my brother go downhill was exhausting emotionally and I wasn't even with him every day. My mother was his primary caregiver and she pretty much had a nervous breakdown, she became an angry, spiteful woman to my brother. But it was so hard on her to watch her son die. You need a break, you need help. We know how much you love Ed and it's not wrong to want to see him not suffer. As I sat by my brother a few hours before he died, I prayed for God to please take him, he had suffered so much and had no fight left. I would never have wanted my brother to die if there was hope. Sometimes we have to just let go....We love you girl..sherryg
