This seems tragic but to be honest this guy who got shot had Alzheimers which is a curse in itself.
To lose one’s mind is a terrible thing.
I now have another relative (in his upper 80s) who is crippled for five years from a stroke really bad, now diagnosed with cancer in multiple organs, that after my grandmother lived to over 100 crippled similarly.
Years earlier both told me they hoped they would die before reaching those states, and they didn't get there wish.
When they die its very conflicting, you feel relieved that the misery is over but you mourn the one you remember you had good times with years before.
RE Alzheimers:
It’s living hell. Imagine forgetting EVERYTHING and EVERYONE you love, all that you’ve been, all that you’ve done... and the people that love you are powerless to stop it.
Personal family experience here, as well.
I’d rather kick off younger than go through that.
Rather not delve any deeper into that subject than what I’ve already said.
