It seems their emotions change very often. I have experienced the same reaction Bill has with the passing of an only friend. Will doesn’t seem to care whether he sees his only friend or not and isn’t enthusiastic about seeing him again. He almost seems as if he doesn’t want to see him, like why bother.
Bill doesn’t sound by his words or his actions (not eating) that he wants to live much longer. My Dad got so miserable with his COPD that he said he wanted to die, and he did.

Bill had refused to see Kirby. Kirby would drop by anyway and was planning on doing so this December (until his heart got so bad he couldn't travel back to Phoenix area). Kirby also was on portable oxygen for the past month or so and hated it. I know he was with his family for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time (unlike Bill). So I think the end came very quickly as Ronnie said he was moving around and doing things a couple of days before he died.
Our Grandson IL came over Sunday to help with something and Bill made me close his door as he didn't want him to see him. But this has been going on for years. Bill yoyos from saying he wants to die to being angry the doctors haven't fixed him. Of course he will do nothing that they suggest to help himself.
