The Kaleb Horton Deceased Latvian Foreign Minister Thread, 2025 Edition

Thanks all! I feel the worst for my MIL because as a nurse, she takes on this burden more than necessary. And she is such a kind woman. We went to see him yesterday and it's just so bad. Nobody should be made to live like this. I appreciate all of the kind words, everyone!

So sorry Jenny B. My grandmother had dementia and it was brutal, especially on my mom who had to ultimately trick her into assisted living. Their lifetime of love and friendship withered away really roughly.

I was living across the country, but my mother took a fall and a concussion that sent her into dementia, and so two of my sisters had to experience her confusion and delusions. Seeing that transformation and having to process it against a lifetime of memories of the person you love and want to see return, that's, to put it mildly, difficult. When I talked to her on the phone, tho, she was generally good, and could even process that what she was thinking wasn't correct. We're all thankful that she didn't last more than six months after going into a care home. She was also just shy of 95, so it's not like her life was cut short.

Just brutal stuff. I wish there was a better way. No one wants to live through that or subject their family to it, but by the time it takes over, it's usually too late.

I get extremely angry at those who claim euthanasia means not caring about loved ones, that it's just about getting rid of them. When things get to a certain point, it is an unambiguous act of love.

Yeah - when my dad died, i know they were giving him extra morphine to push things along. I wish they would do the same for my FIL. He's in pain and just not there. It's no kind of life.

Same with my dad. An unintentional-intentional morphine OD. They're so weak, tho, it doesn't take much to push them over.

Funny story with The Boss' dad. He was also dying of cancer and in a hospice. He resisted morphine because, he said, he didn't want to become an addict. The Boss and her sister had to persuade him that he wasn't coming home and there was no reason for his final weeks/days to be in more pain than it would be. Being an addict should be the least of his concerns.

The mind is amazing sometimes.

David "Syd" Lawrence, a very sad loss to the world of cricket. The cruel disease that is MND. A very big man and very fast bowler, his career was shattered literally when his knee collapsed under the pressure exerted on it, bowling for England in New Zealand.

RIP Mick Ralphs, 81. Founding member of both Mott the Hoople and Bad Company.

Man, shortly before pandemic Mott went, for me, from a band that I knew 2 or 3 songs from to absolutely positively my favorite fucking band, period.

Just realized that I hadn't credited Flex with 18 points for Brian Wilson.
