I am sure my brother-in-law who has end stage prostate to bone cancer, would love to reflect on his life, IF he could just get past the moment to moment pain, while trying to live.
That’s what killed my Dad and the last 6 months were really awful. It’s a bad way to go.
Just saw this up close and personal, my long-time flying buddy died of this. At home. Surrounded by friends and family. In no pain. Your family made a different decision. Difficult circumstances require difficult decisions and outcomes are sometimes not what we expect. A minister is your friend.
That's how Dad and his sister surmised my grandfather went. He seemed in good spirits the last time I saw him, but he couldn't walk far without having to rest, and knowing what I know now, I guess he was in serious pain.
