It's tough for sure. My Dad had a major stroke while we were away on vacation. We'd been there to see him probably five or six days before we went and he asked if we were coming back before we left. I told him probably not,we would see him when we got back. Then I had a dream that he had passed away a couple of nights before he had the stroke. My brother called us the night before we were planning to come home and told us what had happened. Said they didn't know if he would make it through the night. We were 450 miles from home after already driving all day,so we had to wait and come home the next morning. He was still talking when we got here,but those were the last words I heard him speak. The bleeding on his brain was just too bad. Looking back though,I wish for his sake that he had just passed away right then. He lived (if you can call it that) for another 54 weeks,just laying there in a nursing home in his own filth. I know there was still something going on in there because you could make him smile and my wife had him talking a little one day about 6 months in,but for the most part he layed there alone. We couldn't be there 24 hours a day for that long. You have to wonder how many lifetimes he relived in his mind laying there. PLEASE take my advice and don't do anything to prolong this. They can make him comfortable and just let him go in peace. Some things are worse than death. Just let him go,for his sake. My brothers and sisters and I had agreed to talk Ma into not letting them do anything to prolong things,but she ended up letting them put in a trach tube to "make it easier for the nurses". DON'T let anybody do it! You can't take it out without a court order once it's in there.
