It's very difficult to witness the demise of a loved one

My mother-in-law returns today to live with us. We have had a few months off because she rotates between Erika’s two sisters. Again, her arrival here fills me with dread.

Her continual decline is very hard to watch. For those of you who have been caregivers, you know what I mean.
