Hello @hotfooted What a terribly difficult position to be in. Caregiving has a way of demanding the unthinkable of us at times. I am very sorry to read of your son's health prognosis and how it is effecting so many in your family.

I know it is very difficult to change a patient's mind as a caregiver. In my wife's situation we had a very understanding physician who we could talk to and who would then talk seriously with her to help her understand what he believed was the best for her care and comfort. Often times coming from her trusted doctor made all the difference, especially when it came to talking about the realities of what was to come due to her disease.

Just my two cents based on what helped my wife and us at the most difficult times.

Strength, courage, and peace
