'Life of the Party'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
And now Jacqueline. It’s not fair.
This is where I’ve been stuck. For weeks. It’s not fucking FAIR. I feel like a little kid stomping my feet in a tantrum, wailing about how it’s just not fair.
I too am really struggling with the not-fairness of it all.
As of yesterday, Jacqueline is unresponsive. She's not even opening her mouth for me to put a little sponge in her mouth for her to get some water.
Second day in a row that there was no liquid in her canister from the G-tube pump. Which means her body has no hydration and she's shutting down.
Death by kidney failure is generally considered to be very gentle and serene, with the patient even having feelings of euphoria. I hope so.
When my mom was at this stage it took about 3 days. So I think in the next day or two.
We are all ready for her to be released. We are in no way ready for her to be gone.
I'm crying. But thank you for sharing all this with us David. And thanks to everyone who has better words to share than I do (which is basically everyone).
We are all ready for her to be released. We are in no way ready for her to be gone.
All of you are surrounded by so much love.

Well phrased. Been there a few times.
Sympathy. Empathy. Condolences.
Oh, my dear ones.
I feel so privileged to “sit” with all of you (but, especially, David and family) at this time.
Agreed, lisah. It's been feeling like a vigil and I hope it is supportive for you, David.

Oh, it has been. Just writing the little tributes to her on FB feels good. All helping me move through this.
I’m glad we can be here for you, David. You and yours are never far from my thoughts.
