Something like that decision making may be happening here. I do not know for sure, and never will know such a factor. Someone with the accumulated wealth of Billy Graham’s family could afford the kind of palliative care that would likely keep him alive for quite some time. Perhaps Mr. Graham has been in this fragile, tangential state since the turn of this century, a good 13.5 years since the 90s. He may simply be ready to leave this present form, and as such, a family decision may have been made to cease extraordinary treatments. This may be why his decline seems so very gradual.
His family has been preparing the public for quite some time.
It is not out of the question that Mr. Graham has already died, and logistically, the family wants to allow a short gap of time between the Mandela Mania and the huge groups of the loyal faithful (from the new world and the old world)who will want to pay their last respects. Both these men were hugely influential, and will remain so, albeit for completely different reasons.
IIRC he’s been pretty frail for some time, and when folks get that old, just staying alive gets tiring.
That doesn’t seem at ALL .... crazy.
