It's hard to watch someone you love die. Not just physically but psychologically. They just don't have the capacity for anything anymore. There's no more passion. Life is just tolerable. It's hard to hear someone say that they feel like they're done with life, especially when you own has just barely begun.
You just have to swallow the pain and treasure the time you spend with them, the smiles they crack, the stories they tell (even if it is the third time today). Because their body's being worn down and small tasks have become a struggle. They feel trapped by their stiff limbs and failing organs. Spend time with them because you don't really know how much of it they have left.
