I was the sibling who stepped up to take care of my Dad when he started showing signs of dementia. He also had melanoma and congestive heart failure. He didn’t want to treat the cancer but the doctors said since it was growing fast and in his neck, it would slowly strangle him to death.
At 97, there was a domino effect of heart issues, melanoma and dementia. I asked him what he wanted to do. He said he was tired and just wanted to go home and sleep. So I put him in hospice.
It was a difficult choice but why put him through treatments that would not remove him from the pain of his other ailments?
He died within the month of being put in hospice.
Prayers and wisdom are sent your way in caring for your Mother at this time.
