scott your recent posts (and b2's recent posts) are heartbreaking. just f**king heartbreaking.
there is such a terrible finality to all that both of you write.
have you considered that posting here is a cry for help and support that you have not been able to find irl?
please i urge you both to call somebody, a crisis line, a trusted family member or friend, church person, coworker, ANYBODY and get some support that you both so desperately need.
maybe i am oversensitive to this as i struggled with the death of my beloved grandpa who wasted away over the course of years in the sickening horrifying way that scott describes. all i can see is a ghostly shell and an atrophied aged claw hand lying on that hospital bed and finally in the casket. it was years of agony and a river of tears. i wouldn't wish a death like that on my worst enemy, and i urge you both to reconsider.
