Why does he still fight?

Yes, each one of us, loves and respect our families, especially our parents. I love my mom to death and will do anything in my power to make her life easier. I wish you could have seen my dear mom about six months ago. So much life and energy. So much love and dignity. Now she looks twice her age and the worst of all, she actually shrinked a few inches. My heart bleeds for her, but this is a time in her life, i can do nothing about. She looks after my stepdad, as their is nothing that any docter or hospital can do for him anymore. It is now only a matter of time. This is going to sound so rude and maybe to some of you repulsive, but why does he have to suffer so much. What is really making him cling to life like that. My mother cannot go on like this. She is trying real hard to make his days as comfortalbe as possible, but really, she,s suffering so much and i cannot take away that pain or suffering that she is endurng everyday. Will you be able to do something like this for your soulmate. You have to think about this long and hard, before you answer, because that sort of dedicatio can only come from God and the deepest part of you heart.

hi~saphrina I'm so appreciate of your mother .She is so brave and tolerative .I understand your pain and worries.Because my mom also act as the "desperate housewife".She work hard to make the ends meet ,while my dad always just idle around and do nothing .what's worse ,she often has to endure his maltreatment. Comparing with your mom ,she never suffer less. My mom ever told me that she isn't a stupid and stubborn woman without knowing the beauty out of her awful life.There is a pain in everywhere ,you can escape this one with meeting another .Love ,responsibility and confidence keep her moving on.She hope i can study hard to realise my future dream and live a meaningful life. Certainly ,it's some diferent between the pain of your mom.But the commitment in the heart of both your mom and mine may be the same. You seemed have a lot of complaint of your stepdad .No one will like having a life like his.He also a victim of the unfortunate fate. Understand him and help him as you do those things to your mom, it's also a way to alleviate your mom's suffering.God blessing you.

I feel for you. I watched my mother take care of my dad when he was getting ready to leave this world and it was one of the most difficult things. I did what I could to help but I never felt it was enough. I prayed for her often and now when we look back she nows that God was there for her when she really needed it and my dad was great when he could tell my mom was really stressed and he was to weak to comfort her he called a good friend of hers and asked her to call my mom. My mom says at the time she didn't know it and was always suprised how her friend always called at the right time. After he passed away her friend told her how he was looking out for her the best he could even at his weakest moments. It was really touching.
