Yeah. My grandmother is in that situation. She is a grandmother to me but she’s a great great grandmother for some of my family.
She moved in a nursing home more than a decade ago expecting to be there for a few years but she’s now 98, losing eyesight, hearing and mobility, and hopes it will end at some point. When she caught covid we thought she might have got what she wanted, but no.
She is trying to get medical assistance in dying, which is possible here under certain conditions, but just not for people in her case. She’s a Catholic so, well… she’s praying.
Man, my heart goes out to you brother. That’s a tough spot for her, and you to be in. I hope you hang in there with her until the end so she knows there’s at least someone in the family who was sad to finally see her go.
And fingers crossed the state or country or similar grants an exception in her case. Best of luck friend.

That’s horrible. Should be a humane way to move on.
