Sorry for your loss Shaun.
For some, death is a better option. My mother in law is merely existing right now. Absolutely no quality of life and no prospect for better quality of life due to a rare form of Parkinson's. For her, a quick passing would be a blessing. Once a person is just existing, what's the point really?

Over the last three years this seems like something I've become too familiar with. It has really changed how I view life and passing. Take nothing for granted. Live for today because there's no guarantee of tomorrow. Take more time to really enjoy the things you like doing and with people you enjoy doing them with.
