Thank you friend. It was for the best considering. It is always for the best when you get to that position. Family tries to hang on as long as they can for themselves. It is not always best for the loved one they are losing. It is selfish and for their own sensitive emotions and not always the best for the terminally ill.
End of life care by the relative(s) is very debilitating. I always remind those family members who are providing the care that it's affecting them almost as much as the dying loved one.
They need as much support as the dying one.
Many family caregivers don't think about this or realize it.
“Family tries to hang on as long as they can for themselves.”
My friend who died from breast cancer had been through it and licked it in her 30s. Mastectomy, chemo, radiation, meds. It returned in her 70s and she just wanted to continue as long as possible without enduring the “cure” again. Her grandchildren begged her to take all measures possible, so she did. Toward the end, she told me she regretted that decision.
