Thank you to those sharing stories. Very interesting to hear about those final days.
My grandfather had a stroke a few years ago. He was 89 and lived a long healthy life until then. He was rendered a vegetable basically. There was talk in the family of letting him go, and if they gave him a pad and pen he could have decided for himself, but they decided to let him fight it out. Personally consider his life and where he was after the stroke, I was pretty sure that we should let him pass. But he fought back within a few months to a place where he could actually move and interact. No speaking, and most of him was immobile, but when I visited him he grabbed my hand tight and I looked in his one good eye I could tell he knew who it was. It changed my mind a bit that maybe it was worth having that last year and a bit for him.
He passed away the following year. I dunno if it was me I may want out. But if you can still have interactions with loved ones...yeah I dunno. Tough to know the type of pain and suffering others are in, especially if they can't talk.
