I’m slowly losing my mom to COPD and it’s awful. Grieving a person in micro increments as they just slowly succumb to a horrible disease is just a brutal experience.

Sending love to everyone else who can relate. My soul is weary.

@ambercadabra So sorry to hear. My dad was diagnosed a couple years ago and the way it just ever so slowly takes things away he used to be able to do is heartbreaking.
@blueberrywerewolf I’m so sorry to hear it. Happy to be an ear anytime. It’s a terrible road to walk.
@ambercadabra Same to you. I think the hardest part is just not being able to do anything about it.
@blueberrywerewolf indeed. The helplessness is real and very very hard.

@ambercadabra I wish it could be like the movies where my grief leads me to become a brilliant scientist and invent a cure.

But then not do the supervillain part where my genius corrupts me and I eventually become destroyed by my own hubris.
