This piece was particularly haunting for me, having watched my father go through almost the exact same thing, including the PD diagnosis, lots of confusion about what was wrong with him, etc.
LBD is a horrific - the hallucinations are utterly terrifying to watch someone go through. My father did not commit suicide, however I have often thought that I wish he had, his decline has been so rapid and horrible - witnessing his fear has been torturous - today he cannot move or talk, and is barely conscious, it is simply a matter of time until something like pneumonia will take his life. His symptoms started at age 58.
- Grangar 10y agoI don't want to come across as crass, but have you considered euthanasia? My father has lived through brain cancer for 9 years until he opted for that, before that he was waiting for something like a heavy cold to take him. Thing is, if you don't go outside the house anymore you have a very low chance of getting sick.
