Looking for some advice..

Dear Planet,

I'm, about to lose both of my parents in probably the next year or so, My mother has been diagnosed with mesothelioma from asbestos apparently.. The doctor told her in March she would probably only have about 3 months to live, she's 84 so the only treatment according to her docs is comfort drugs.

I saw her today and she is still able to breathe without oxygen, and is mentally sharp as a tack, however it's apparent she is beginning to grow tired of always feeling so bad, she said to me today that she feels like she's just waiting to die. Needless to say I'm a little freaked out, luckily she lives close and I see her often as do my seven brothers and sisters.

To add to the situation, we had to put her husband of 60 years (my dad) into an Alzheimers home recently because we simply cannot take care of him.. it's gotten to the point where he needs 24/7 care (he likes to take his clothes off

Today when i was visiting my mom she informed me about an altercation at the home where he is staying, apparently a young lady
(81) has taken a fancy to him and they hang together alot, my mom thinks it's cute. anyway they were watching a movie the other night at the home and one of the other patients decided that the lady my dad was with was his wife (not) he came over and apparently the 2 went at it (according to my mom my dad won)

Has anybody here ever been through something similar that may have some advice for me?
It would be much appreciated as would some positive thoughts/ prayers etc for my dear parents.

Cheers
