[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I know it doesn't end well ... I just was wondering if the end would be a long slow painful torture or more of a short, quick and more merciful thing.  Not that either option is good, mind you.[/quote]

My father died at 57 from cirrhosis of the liver. I would say he was pretty uncomfortable for about 2 years before his death, although he never quit drinking so that made things worse. His first noticeable symptom was water retention which slowly got worse and worse over the two years. By the end he was skin and bones, but his stomach was huge. He had a lot of confusion which was very painful to watch. I guess his actual death was quick though. His cause of death was bleeding from esophageal varices. He was found dead on the floor and blood was everywhere. I imagine he was scared when he started vomiting blood, but he would have just passed out from the rapid blood loss so hopefully not it wasn't too painful. If you have kids try to tell him how horrible it would be for them. [/quote]
