[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, he is 90. He is dying. He is sick. Him not being happy/him wanting this to be over does not have to do with his care, whether it's optimal or not. It's not about the move. He asks to die because that is what he's ready for. It's common. It's horrible to watch, to have to watch but it is not at all unusual. Please know that you are doing everything right, and ordinary. It's not like you can make this much better. Btw, I attended a seminar on the elderly that said, the common statement of, "I want to go home" does not mean what we assume. It's not a physical place. The elderly is expressing that they want things to be the way they use to be. They want to be who they use to be.[/quote] OP here. That is such a helpful reframing! Thank you.[/quote]
