ugh, it's so hard to watch someone waste away and die when you know from the start how the story will end. i guess by the time they are done torturing you, you kinda don't mind dying; you probably look forward to it!

my favorite are the obits- so and so "lost his brave battle with cancer" blah, blah, blah. they didn't fight. they sat in the chemo chair or lay on the radiation table. they ate cookies because their oncologist told them that diet had nothing to do with anything. and then they're gone and the world is smaller. so very sad. so sorry about your brother. yes, lately- especially after the covid debacle- i feel bereft of "rebel comrades. even people who i always thought were fierce and brave and smart turned out to be not so much. aside from all the people who no longer speak to me, there are the ones who still do but i think less of them than i did before
