Geez, Consuela, that's a lot of stuff for you and your family. How terribly stressful. I hope everything goes as smoothly and peacefully as possibly for your mom and your dad and you and your siblings.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Aw Suela, I'm so sorry.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so sorry, Suela. You and your sibs have been ground down so brutally, just doing what is good and necessary for your parents. Vibing respite, and peace, and skilled caregivers to all of you. Can the localistas do anything practical to ease up on any pressure anywhere? Walk your dog, wash your car, water your lawn, give you gin, write you fic? I just hate feeling so helpless to do anything but say, I'm so sorry, it's so hard, I wish it all were some other way for you over and over. The words are so small.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Strength to you and your family, Consuela. My experience with hospice care was truly positive and affirming, as upset as I was (and still, sort of, am).

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Much love to you and your, Consuela. If there is anything those of us non-local can do, just give a shout. There are plenty of things that can be accomplished via phone and 'net.
