my first thougt... why use a gun? there are TONS of better ways of ending it.
The old man will not be around long now.
I have known several men who actually willed themselves to die after losing their wives. My brother was one of them.
A woman I dearly loved willed herself to die only two weeks after her husband. She stayed alive just to care for him.
It happens, perhaps it is best.
So you spend a lot of time thinking of ways to kill people?
The best way is to inhale pure nitrogen using a face mask. It makes you euphoric, shuts down the brain and you die.
The worst way to go is having headphones glued to your ears and having to listen to this over and over for about 3 minutes............

At first the victim screams bloody murder at the sound of the shrill voice, then blood comes out of his ears, then the eyes pop out of the sockets and then the head explodes. It’s very gruesome.
No matter how sick or old, one has NO right to play God.
My wife and I managed the final days for three elderly relatives last fall—one in September and 2in December.
Being that close, and watching people you love struggle...I came to the conclusion that I can make it more comfortable, but I could not cause it.
What a horrible experience for this man and his wife.
