[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry op, but I would think it very intrusive to have people come visit in the end. If your dad has had dementia for years, then he’s been basically gone for a long time too. People probably said their goodbyes and grieved slowly over the years. [/quote] Yes, I would not let the movies inform your reality. At the end, is it really better for the dying person to have weeping people at their bedside? It's probably more peaceful for them not to have to feel, hear, or deal with all the emotions of other people. Treat people well when they are well. Be their friend when they are well. I never feel like I have to be at the bitter end although I have been there three times for people. I had all the decades before that to tell people I loved them, to be a good person, to treat them well... To put all this emphasis on the dying moments doesn't make logical sense to me. [/quote]
