One of the more surreal, but very real, experiences I've had is observing a physical therapist working with an elderly man who was clearly tired and wanted to die. Everything about the old man who was having his life prolonged in virtual isolation, save for regular nursing care... everything about him was saying that he wanted to be let go.
There comes a time in life where people are better off addressing the inevitable. There's a window of opportunity that many people miss. And families have a nasty habit of tearing themselves apart when it happens. We'll see.
I do believe in hospice care.
