Making care choices is such a burden on the person receiving "all of the attention" most especially if quality of life is not there for them.

A longtime dear friend of mine had endured diabetes a LONG time, lost sight to blindness, and had to endure dialysis on a more progressive schedule over time. He was informed he would need to be in dialysis ever more frequently, the last being he would have to do it daily. It was more than he could bear or put his family through, and, although he did not withdraw and family and friends were all surrounding him, he did select No More Dialysis. Decision was his. The result was......his funeral.

Seeing him go was not easy. Knowing he would have endured dialysis every day was even less thinkable. We understood.

Thus, I pray understanding may help all of you affected by your Friend's passing through those stages of grief.
