In article , Al A. says...

It stinks to have your body outlive your mind.

True, but only marginally. I spent the better part of this summer
helping my mom who was hospitalized several times for a variety
of serious problems. Eventually she went to rehab in a nursing
home, and while it was bad for her being so terribly disabled and
yet still acutely aware of what was going on. Worse because
she retired from her job as a nurse while she was hospitalized.

It was bad but we both realized that problems like your mom's
were a great deal tougher. I think that anything you do to
make her life better in any way at all, is a graceful act.
Like you say, in a situation like that, you really see who sticks
and who doesn't.
