I'm sorry to hear that. My grandfather had Parkinson's and his decline was relatively slow, although the progression varies from case to case. He walked every day which became a slow shuffle and even after some years he would escape from the home and shuffle off places.
He lived a long way away so it wasn't easy to see him.
He had a few falls so they tried to stop him getting out but i think he wanted to live until he died. In later years I went to see him and it took a long time for them to bring him to the room for me to see him and it would take minutes for him just to say a single word.
I don't know how much of a blessing a slow progression was because it meant the years he spent poorly were more drawn out. We all want to be around as long as possible, I guess. You could see it as a good thing to be ready to go when you finally go, and I think he was ready to go. It felt like he was in prison to me, both in the home and in his own body.
