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.
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

I'm sorry Consuela. It's a hard situation.

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.

Words are small, but many good ones to you, Consuela.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, Consuela. I'm wishing for continued good care for all of you.
