I watched my grandfather waste away due to lung cancer. But if anyone ever suggested he take something to stop the pain and commit suicide, he would have been appalled and immediately whip out his Bible and try to rationalize that person away from that line of thought.
It was tough. He was on oxygen and had hospice care. I remember the giant hospital bed taking up the entire family room. But he didn’t want to miss out on anything happening in his family. My grandmother has said that he loved watching all of us grandkids go through school, and was fighting so that he could see us all go through. He didn’t make it, but he still wouldn’t ever have thought of taking his own life. To him, it would have been selfish.
