My mom was diagnosed a year ago, she was only 46. Im 24, my younger sister 21… I always just assumed she would grow old, and there would be so many more memories. I feel like what I always pictured my life being has been ripped away from me, and it’s so difficult for me to caregive for her when my angel of a stepfather needs time away. I feel anger, resentment, devastation, heartbroken. Her progression in the last year is unfathomable, she can no longer walk, talk, eat. All in the span of a year. I feel like I don’t even recognize her anymore, and sometimes I just want it to be over. Grieving someone you love while they’re still alive, grieving who they used to be and all that was taken from them so quickly, has to be the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through at my young age. No one deserves this. I feel so lost.
