Exploring the societal treatment of the elderly, this work reflects on personal experiences surrounding the author's mother's decline and death in a retirement home. It delves into themes of autonomy, degradation, and the end-of-life conditions faced by the elderly, questioning their representation in Western thought. Engaging with prominent philosophers, the narrative examines the implications of aging and dependency, while the author reconciles his past with his mother's legacy, transforming grief into a profound commentary on connection and identity.
