Amazing story. Brought me to tears. My step-grandfather found himself in a similar position about 5 years ago. He'd been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and was in for a long decline. He opted to refuse food, and died within a few weeks. Sadly, that's the only option available to many who are ready to move on. I remember him comforting his wife and daughters, telling them not to be scared, even as he lay hallucinating and dying. He'd lived a good life to an old age, and he was ready. We owe our parents better. Death is a part of life.
