I still feel this way about my own father's death.
Second open heart surgery, triple bypass, 91% blockage in at least one artery. A necessary risk if it meant a full life after heart surgery.
All was well, until he threw a clot from that, it went to his brain causing a bad stroke.
Neurology left us in lurch. Dropped the ball for the first year or two.
Diagnosis: VASCULAR DEMENTIA
That goddamn clot killed the brain tissue. It deteriorated his brain over 5 years. That's the average lifespan of someone with Vascular Dementia. He made it just barely into a sixth year. And only because we tirefully (yes we were very broken down tired at that point) without help of any kind kept him going until his appetite and ability to swallow finally ended his life.
There were some fun days, some jokes, some hugging and kissing and buddy days. But there was a lot of fucking suffering. Mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually. The confusion, the bizarre things he'd do and say, the physical attacks. The moments of clarity which were like teasing us that he's back to himself only top disappear again for months.
And Death isn't easy. I was there for it. It looked hard for him. It was excruciating horror for me, and for my mom she handled it differently, maybe or her profession girded her better. Maybe it was my already fucked up psychological problems that made it so much more drastically worse for me, that and my deep closeness with my dad.
I wish I could find what Mandy Patinkin did in his scenes with the six fingered man, a short moment of catharsis. I'm still anguished about my dad's death. Granted its only been a year and 8 months for me, but it's there everyday, every second.

Dua ikat pelepah kelapa kering rapi disiapkan. Cuprok Tanoh (periuk tanah) kecil nangkring di batu bata yang tersusun.
Api dihidupkan menyambar pelepah kering. Cuprok tanoh di atas bata dibaluri garam. Terasa panas, sekejap kemudian, adonan cair dari tepung beras dicampur santan dituangkan.
Seorang ibu terdengar menggumam "Allahuma barik lana, fi rajaba wa sya'bana wa balighna Ramadhana" (Ya Allah, berkahilah umur kami di bulan Rajab dan Sya'ban dan sampaikanlah hingga di bulan Ramadhan).
Api di pelepah terbakar ditiup hingga membara.
Tutup cuprok tanoh di buka. Adonan telah menggumpal dan masak sempurna.
Adonan itu telah menjadi Apam. Pengganan paling banyak dibuat di bulan Rajab. Bulan yang padanya segala kebaikan diyakini mendapat pahala berganda.
Bulan yang menjadi tonggak ibadah, yakni adanya perintah salat bagi kaum mukminin.
Khanduri apam kemudian menjamur pada bulan ini di berbagai gampong di Aceh, khususnya di Pidie.
Berharap berkah dan juga demi menjaga budaya indatu, Tet Apam lestari.
I'm sure I have little value to anyone except my mom and dad. And my dad is gone forever. After that last one, my mom, - I will have no value to anyone.
I only carry on in my father's good faith with a lifelong wounded spirit because he'd want me to keep trying.
I feel like one day it's possible I'll leave my mom in favor of my suicidal ideation. Then she'll be alone.
I don't want that. But it is my one big fear. Among the rest..
I may hold out and continue this cursed fucking life. Maybe she'll die first, old old age 105 years old, if we're lucky. Butt after that I don't feel like there's any guarantee that I might live another day or a year or 10 years.
I'll really have nobody then. None of our extend family are any good. Or friends in my age group. I like them, but there's no connections in my life like my parents. Nobody that will listen to my humor or laugh at things. Or hug me for real.
My parents are my soulmates in that sense. Nobody has ever really understood me or cared for me or given me the benefit of the doubt. Truest Unconditional Love.
I've tried so hard to find natural closeness. They're often empty or forced. At worst they take advantage of me. Or they don't respect boundaries. Or they judge me. Or abandon me.
The future is a lonely place for me with half-friendships and careless idiots. There's a few people I like, but they're far away or have better social and self independence abilities. Or different lives that I am not something that fits into. Even for a visit every few weeks or months or at all.
Aaaaaaaah it’s Apam on the mic again
