[quote=Anonymous]My dad at that stage could not swallow or use the bathroom on his own and had lost language. He could only communicate through noise and blinking. Knowing him before dementia, he would have been DEVASTATED for his friends to see him like that. Plus his friends were in various stages of unwell themselves and the ones who were well were getting depressed watching so many peers die. Have grace for those who don't come, and appreciate those who are there. In the end they often die alone by choice. Hospice had to ask us to give him space and that is when he finally passed.[/quote]
