Thank you very much for you kind words. He's been going for about 10 years or so. I think he had a number of mini-strokes, and he gradually lost his mental faculties. During the last couple of years, he could vaguely remember I was his son on a good day. In the month before died, his circulation was shutting down, he had gangrene in a foot...and operating was not recommended. I am very fortunate that my sister was a hospice nurse...and I could rely on her judgment....which also made a lot of sense to me...so we had no end of life family squabble to worry about. > Debbi > Anticipating A Similar Outcome "Soon" Maru :( Well, I certainly can empathize with that. So far, besides a few moments in the funeral, dealing with his death is no harder than seeing him as a ghost for the last few years. But, I might be hit hard in a month or two...who knows.
