My grandfather was recently admitted to a nursing home, that I fought tooth and nail, literally kicking and screaming. He is 96 and my grandmother was taking care of him full time and she just couldn't anymore. I understand the reason for it, but I worked as an office manager in a nursing home and I know what goes on when family isn't around to see. I went to see him yesterday and left crying. He'd been in the hospital after falling and said he just wanted to die and now, with him being in that place, he will. It will kill him. I would rather be put out of my misery than be stuck in a nursing home.
Just shut up. Just shut the fuck up right now.
