Trig i believe this needs to be aired

WARNING THE FOLLOWNG SUBJECT MAY NOT BE SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE CAN HANDLE, SO IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE ABOUT THE SUBJECT OF PD AND DEATH READ NO FURTHER



When the time comes when we reach stage five, (remember nobody lives forever) what happens to us? We once had a few caretakers whose spouses passed on in stage 5, remember GOOGY's husband (Bill, who went "naturally"), and Bella and her hubby Fabs (Fabian who went right to the end); and others over the years.
I've heard that it gets pretty distressing in the end, and it's a slow death (go figure?). Something like congestive heart failure, well something like that, i' m not there yet. Can somebody give us some no BS about it, at least so we don't miss anything to aid our passage?
And i have read many times that suicide in PD victims is not much greater than the general population, so for those of us who have had it for years , i guess that means that it's no worse than a bad "off" in the end. I'm very curious because i can't seem to find descriptons of many "case histories", to get "a handle" on just what to expect? I mean, if there is anything that they REGULARLY do, to stop choking for 4 days or lingering painfully, i wanna know about it, so i can order my doctor to give it to me, even if it kills me. Now i'm no Kevorkian fan, if you can still get pleasure out of life but just want to end it because you are depressed, well that's a bad reason, because they have things that will fix depression, but if i'm in really bad distress for more than awhile, and it's the inevitable end stage of pd that's causing it; please forgive me, but i wanna have it ready to use.
