This isn't anirritation but more like sadness. I can't find a "What's making you sad today" thread so I decided to put it in this thread. I just found out tonight that a friend's mom is going to die soon. Her health has been going downhill, of course, the family still had hoped she can pull through. The doctor just called and said she won't be able to recover at all. She has a rampant infection going on and some blood clots in her arm. When those clots dislodge, she will go under cardiac arrest. The doctor told the family to meet with him tomorrow and to bring the mom's living will. She has been on the ventilator for almost 3 weeks. She also has been heavily sedated because of the pain. As soon as I got my friend's email, I called him to give him some comforting words. However, he gave me comforting words instead because I couldn't stop crying.
I'm actually worried about the father too. They have been married for 49 years. Imagine losing a spouse after 49 years of being together.
