Sorry to hear Brukuns - once quality of life is as bad as you described, it's time.

My mom passed the other night, to be honest it is bit of a relief, the suffering is over for her.
sorry for your loss mundus and brukuns
peace to everyone who will miss your mother and uncle especially during the holidays
brukuns, I agree that your uncles death, under the circumstances wasn’t the worst outcome
when my father was 47, he had a similar stroke leaving him able to control one eyelid. Over the next 3 years he fought back and got strength in one side, but was never able to walk or take care of himself again. He never regained his speech. He had another stroke at 50, which left him in a coma for a week or so and on life support.
The thought of him starting that fight back was way worse than the thought of him dying.
we were relieved when he died, maybe after my mother decided to have him taken off life support
Not trying to make this about me
Just wanted to say, you’re right. After a stroke like that, death may be the best possible outcome
again peace to you both and to everyone who loved your uncle and mundus, your mother

The Ball and Box Analogy on Coping with Grief
Grieving may feel like a giant ball in a box with a pain button. This analogy may help you understand the process better.

I know it’s nowhere near as bad as what others are dealing with
But does anyone else find their wife annoying as fuck when they are prepping for holidays?
Omfg I can’t stand being around the house as she’s spinning both literally and emotionally
and if I loose my patience it will make it 1000 times worse

I found that drinking a lot and taking the dead person's pain meds was the best way for me to deal with grief.The Ball and Box Analogy on Coping with Grief

This might not work for everyone but it was just what the doctor ordered in my case.
My condolences...if we run into each other I will block for you for sets off the jetty...best thing to take your mind off of life's woes is a dark colored wedge bouncing off some rocks..
You sound like you could use a punching bag in the garage bro
Yeah, well not so simple since first I’ll need to get a garage
Yeah my gf is a bit nuts with the shopping (like you don't need a gift for my sister in law's father), the baking (she does this when's she's anxious) that I'm not interested in b/c I don't eat unhealthy sh!t for the most part after a cookie or two, and the general lack of light and cold weather...been in the gym/pool a lot more first thing to set the day right.
I should have put “garage“ in quotes lol but I also assume(d) you(d) know that it was a proxy for finding a way to put a bag up somewhere wicked convenient.
Bitd all the OGs engaged in fisticuffs and trained in the pugilistic arts
Pugilism: Boxing, Diversity, and Mr. Darcy - Jane Austen Variations
Bare-knuckle boxing was all the rage among gentlemen in the Regecny era. Minority Black and Jewish boxers became celebrities in the sport.

Seems to be a common thing among the fairer sex, my wife is an absolute Saint expect during the Holidays.
Buried my uncle yesterday. I think it was for the best. What happened was horrible, but locked-in syndrome, no one deserves that.
Sorry for your loss mundus.
