I feel bad for my mother in law she has been in bed for the past 3 months and I feel that life can sometimes be cruel to let people suffer like that.Her body may not know but I believe that her soul is suffering because it is still trapped in its worldly body.She is now at the point where she cant recognize anyone and she is being supported with an oxygen machine 24/7.She is lucky though that she has enough money to pay a full time caregiver for a lot of money each day.Some old people end up in some places and get stinky.I hope she will go peacefully and knowing that she is loved by those who surrounds her.
