I so get this! I will hold space for you as well. Space to grieve and process and scream into the void if needed.I’m in the “it’s hard seeing them get old” part right now. It’s hard dealing with the cognitive decline & the insistence to do things that are now dangerous for them (ahem, him, my dad specifically).
My dad passed in February but we had a very complicated relationship. There is huge loss there but I already has dealt with the loss of him in my life so his passing just made it permanent.
I've been fortunate enough to have in-laws that are both parents and friends. After 33 years of marriage I love them like my own parents. We just finished a two week visit and my father-in-law is in steady decline perhaps with some dementia and my mother in-law is trying to carry the burden. They are fairly isolated and I really worry about both of them. I hate that they are so far away and don't know what the future looks like for them.
