Grandma is 84. She has dementia for 4 years now. She is in the hospital due to brain hemorrhage. The doctors are divided as to whether she should undergo surgery. If she does, she may die. If she doesn't, she will go into a coma eventually.
The cruel facts of old age. It's a big irony that she suffers from dementia. We watched the disease taking over her brain, bit by bit, and eventually totally, over these 4 years. It's suffering for us, but can never ever compare to the suffering she goes through.
Women of her generation, do they have dreams in life? Time passes by, does she have fulfilled and unfulfilled dream? What do they want, what do they crave in their lifes? Who do they live their lifes for?
So what if she has unfulfilled dreams. I wonder if that matters at all? Where's the dignity of life, when we all lie on our beds, unaware of even the ones we loved most in life, unaware of when the suffering will end....
