Re FIL Update

You have my sympathy as well. I've gone through something similar with my mom and now that she's gone I'm going through it again with my dad. May you all stay strong.

I'm praying for strength for you and your family, and peace with the decision he made.

Re FIL Update

Dad has a living will that lines out pretty much everything in all the situations he could think of. He said he didn't want us to be burdened with anything. Hugs to you and your family. I know it can't be easy.

... and FIL is still cognizant enough that when he says "Enough," we know it's a thought-out point of view.

That is perhaps an important point (and warning) in the tale of your struggle.

It is important to recognize that point and allow decisions to be made while they still can be made logically and by the person most effected.


Of course my prayers are also added to all those already here...

Re FIL Update

M.J., good luck to all of you. Those are difficult decisions to make, but it does sound like he's making the decisions he wants. It doesn't make it much easier on the rest of you, though.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
