A few things I'd consider and did with my Dad.

July 20, 2024 05:33AM
Are treatments beating the cancer or just slowing it down? Is he alive because of Meds . And maybe most of all...IF you know and are sure.....What would your Brother want / do in the same situation. I'll tell you this.... With my Dad, ALL of the criteria's SHOUTED "It's the VERY right call" but it's still a very weird thing to do.

Heck, A time or two on the Fire Department, I was filling in for Officers who were off duty and I had to make the Official call of "D.O.S." on the radio. One was a fella who was obviously dead, the other passed in his sleep. Bot were strangers. But even so, being THE one to make it Official, was weird.

If you do make that call, I say you have done the right thing.
