I am so sorry for the lost of your mother. Your story moved me so much. It is a slow death. I watch my fiance die a slow death. It was so painful to watch him go like that. He was diagnosed in 2009 or 2010. He passed away May 17th of this year. I never witnessed anything like that in my life before. There was nothing I could do anymore. I just held his hand and talked to him. He was unresponsive, it was so hard to watch. He lost tremendous weight and I still love him so much. He said he saw people in the room painting, it was so hard hearing that. He was a strong man, physically and mentally. The cancer tore his mind and body down to nothing, it was hurting to watch.
