Thanks CaptainCrunch... a very tough topic and it hits real close for me too.
It's brutal what this does to the person, to their spouse, and the support family's. Its also shocking the level of denial with the spouse and within the family. Super important to recognize the path this disease takes and plan accordingly, or at least have some discussions and bit of a plan. Covid has significantly affected treatment access as well making the affected family's hesitant to "give up" the affected person at risk of not seeing them for a long time.
Choosing NOT to make any decision IS actually making a decision. As I've said repeatedly - it's better to get your resources and plans in place a little too early rather than a little too late. I am witnessing and having to live with the "too late" option and have zero say in the matter.
