Petunia I'm so sorry. i know what you mean seeing some one slip away from you forever is the most saddest. my grand mom who raised me was paralyzed for almost an year before she passed out.
(she took care of me because my mom had to go to work, until i was 5 years old. after that i moved in with my mom and dad who lived many many miles away from my grandmom )
every time i went to see her while she was 'not well' i could see her moving towards the other side, and i hated it. i wanted so badly to spend everyday with her but i couldn't because i had to go to school -i was 16 then. one day i came home from school and i found out that she had left us. i still miss her terribly. she's the rock, my everything. i miss her so. still do will always do.
i wish i was there with her throughout that whole year, i totally regret it. i know it would have been sad to see her slowly slipping away, but i know she would have been there with me if it was i who was leaving this world.
i miss her so. i love you grandma. more than anything in the world. thank you for everything.
and thank you Petunia for asking that question, it meant a lot. love you. and i feel for you. take care.

It depends on who it is.
My mom just became angry and bitter over the last few mo's I could not be around this. I was there for the last week.
that was enough.
My father was unconscious for most of it so I was there for him.
As a nurse I would not want people to give up their lives to take care of ME for a long period of time. No more than 6-9 Mo.
I would not want my family to suffer and to live their own lives.
You have to do what makes you feel good!!

my grandpa went through this, we all spent alot of time with him during his pain....why would anyone ever want to leave a loved one alone like that? In the very end we spent 3 days in the nursing home..never leaving his side until he passed...we all said a prayer as he passed on. It was tough, but he had almost the entire family there next to him letting him know we all loved him and cared.

i am sorry for your loss. it is very hard. i have help with several family members and friends as they slowly died. one of my grandmothers died in my arms (while i was only one home with her). i helped with my father, stepfather, sister-in-law and several friends. i am helping with a family member now who has alzhiemer disease, slowly watching her disappear while still physically around. i spend time with them, but i have some siblings and friends who can not handle it. i can understand how hard it is for them but i wish they could spend the time because i think in long run they feel better having been around, even though difficult at the time. but each have to decide for themselves

I have been through this 2x in the past 3 years.... in both cases, I was glad I was able to spend extra time & really tell them how I felt...
Though it's sad to see someone die slowly, it does offer you the ability to say a proper goodbye...
< peace >

I would make time for them..... i would give up everything i had planned for my days ahead. just to be with them. and makes sure they were having the best time ever. So i know when they were gone that they had a very good time here with me. I would hope others that loved me very much would do the same. good question.

For me...I really don't know. My grandfather had Alzheimer's, and I missed seeing him near the end of his life. On the other hand, it is very hard for me to see people suffering. I think it just depends.....wow I don't have an answer for ya, girl.......

I would spend the time even though it would be difficult it would be more difficult to stay away when I knew they were dieing.
