i took a big ole drag off the large bottle of palliative morphine i had just inherited. damn nurse poured the thing into sand in the trash when they came to pick him up.

Sorry for that experience [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My grandpa had a stroke and was completely disoriented on his deathbed struggling and babbling incoherently for hours as we tried (in vain) to comfort him

In a way it still felt like the right thing to do to try to offer my grandpa some comfort, although I highly highly doubt he was aware of us. But I will forever regret having that memory as a kid now forever in my brain. I try to do what I’ve suggested to clients which is to summon a positive memory to focus on and replace it when I find myself thinking of it, which seems to work some of the time
