I want to thank you for sharing your story, and also want to point out what I believe to be the most important point: Be clear with your loved ones what each of you considers "life worth living." Communication is paramount, and doing it ahead of time is also paramount because various situations mean it can't be done in the moment. The goal and ideal scenario is that when circumstances require it, your loved ones do not feel that they are the ones making a decision. They should feel that they are carrying out the decision that you already made for them, with minimal interpretation on your part. I was in a similar situation with my mother, and without going into too much detail, it was a significant burden taken off of me that she had made it very clear (both in person over the years, and through legal documents) what her wishes were. It is honestly something that I'm very thankful that she did, and recommend to others, especially those facing eminent medical issues.
