My father-in-law did it. He called my husband and told him, “Come now. It’s my time to go.” My husband jumped on a plane and his dad had already started VSED - alone. John got there and in 3-days his dad was gone. My FIL was a WWII vet. Perhaps his courage and conviction came from someplace much more difficult. He passed peacefully with John by his side. My uncle was passing at the same time and I was with him. It was rough.
