My sympathies to anyone going through this. This thread gives me flashbacks of my parent’s last years and how hard it was, and makes me fear putting my boys through something similar as I get older and older.
I truly think it’s a cruel twist that medicine keeps people alive for much longer but certainly doesn’t address quality of life. It seems to only exist to make nursing home owners obscenely wealthy.
Everything my father’s life ended up being in the last few years was everything he told us he never wanted.
