It is indeed a horrible thing. My FIL was a man that refused to have anyone come to the house to do work on his things. He dug his own water well. He moved a load supporting wall in the living room to open up the kitchen. He replaced the entire central AC and furnace unit. He rebuilt the engine in his diesel truck. He taught me what I know about automotive AC and I still use his refrigerant recovery setup to remove and store the old refrigerant in my cars before doing AC work.
Then his brain just started shutting down. He turned into a adult size infant. My MIL kept him at home for as long as she could physically do it. When she moved him to a nursing home, she had her attorney provide the nursing home a very clear DNR, and he lasted another 6 months as less than a one day old infant. It was just horrible.
