Try to take some comfort in that treatment is far from a picnic, and unfortunately, the older a person is, the rougher it can be. It may have been a blessing that he went so fast. I saw my secondary mother slowly go downhill for a year before she finally passed, and it was wrenching to witness. I am not glad that she is gone, but I am so very glad that she is no longer suffering, and did she ever suffer horribly.

My dad passed away last weekend unexpectedly. He fell and hit his head doing yardwork and went into a coma a couple of hours later as a result of a hematoma. He never regained consciousness. I was close to my dad and I'm not glad he's gone, but I'm happy for him that his end was relatively quick and painless. He had a good, 80-year life and he was a good dad. Good luck with your treatments, Lonewolf.
