I have no earthly idea how I’m going to deal with my parents dying. I’m at the weird spot where I hope it happens soon for my mom,she wouldn’t want to live as she does. And I hope it never happens to my dad but it will.

Making peace with it and accepting that it will happen is an important step. It sounds like you have.

Dealing with it in the aftermath is it's own animal. You have a good family and support network, but ultimately you choose your path, right?

Also, you can only plan for so much. There's anticipatory grief, but mourning a person who is still alive isn't particularly healthy for anyone. I guess what I'm saying is that you let things happens as they occur and try to respond in the manner that is the healthiest for you and those around you. Just don't be a fucking potato.
