THE FIGHT IS OVER, THE ILLNESS WINS

What ever battle your loved one is fighting- cancer, alzheimers, MS, ALS, old age- over time the illness wins. The body just can not take it anymore. As a clinician, I often hear by family or friends the loved one gave up. No they did not give up, the illness won. No one really wants to die and leave their loved ones. If there were another treatment, some more time, something else to try, it would have been tried. You be the strong one. You keep on trying. You keep the spirits up for your loved one. Take the pressure and energy off! No matter what-it hurts to your core to lose someone you love! Remember to take care of yourself!
