Am I terrible for hoping that it keeps going even quicker now?
I am going up tomorrow to sit through the night with her so stepmom (I call her mom but I figured I should be clearer here) can get some sleep.
She's hallucinating. The bone pain, even with all of the meds, is excrutiating. The pain meds are taking away her mind... It's just circular.
And she had a good life. I don't want to seem horrible but I just want her to have a good death too now.

Not even a little bit. Swift and as comfortable as possible is a mercy now.

That's not horrible, that's merciful.
Cass, that's not terrible. That's compassionate, given the circumstances. I hope that if it's your grandmother's time to go that she goes as painlessly as possible.
Thank you.
I mean, I think I know that. And I believe it but, right now, it just feels so hard.
What everyone else said. Merciful. I'm so sorry, for all of you.

You're a good, good soul.
It IS hard. I've been where you are. It's never easy to reconcile wishing for death. In the long run, I think ends up feeling healthy. In the short run, it really feels awful.
