I'm sorry for your loss. It is hard to watch beloved person struggle and not be able to help.
We had multiple loses in the past few years. One was a longer struggle. However, it wasn't torture the whole time. I admit, some days were pretty bad, but there were also good days. And there were also joyful new experiences, like meeting newly born family members. Thing is that while quality of life may look terrible from healthy persons perspective, body adapts to that state and combined together with moderen pain medication person is not in constant physical pain. Point being that it's usually not constant physical torture for years until person dies.
Another issue is psychological pain. This is where we can make a difference. Allowing people to not be perfect or the best, but still be equally worthy can do wonders.

I find it that people can have quite significant change of heart. And it is not rare at all to have one.
