I'm so sorry for your loss. I watched my step-father who raised me age twenty years and become unrecognizable before he died of cancer in 2012. He was sick just over one year. I know it is hard to witness, and I'm sure it took a lot to share. Thank you.

People will now be focusing only on the face that you have shown serving NO purpose what so ever. Plus it is considered an invasion of privacy in ANY hospital in the USA to take pictures of a patient, even if they give consent because of medications that might interfere rational thinking. To you your family & friends I'm sorry that cancer took another wonderful person of this earth. Blessings to all

Lindsay I'm sorry for your loss, Cancer is an awful disease and it shows no mercy. I hope that you and your mom have found comfort in each other and remember the good times you shared with your dad. He was a tough man to go through what cancer throws at you.

Now 2 eyes: It's not in poor taste, you can judge all you want, but judging how someone grieves is extremely poor taste. Way to kick someone when they are down This whole site is filled with family members. All these pictures are someone's parent, brother, daughter, etc..But yet you religiously get on here and view it

And speaking of religion... Why do you Bible thumpers always seem so judge-mental?? Just curious, I would think it goes against everything you are trying to preach.

I'm so very sorry for your loss and your dad's suffering. It is a very brave thing to post about this and make people more aware. I lost my dad last year so I know what you're going through. There aren't words. You're a brave woman and I wish you well.

I am so sorry your dad had to go through that. He is at peace now and no longer in pain.
I know it was hard to see him like that and you and your family miss him.
Cancer is a horrible thing to endure.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You are quite brave to share this with us.

I just lost my Mom last month. She beat lung cancer only to get beat by a massive stroke. No pics to share, just condolences and memories.

Thank you for sharing, this decicion sure wasn't easy, but it shows the raw life, from loving family to the evils of illness. I always think about why people must endure it and why we can't let them go before they die of their illness, not many countrys allow euthanasia, and it makes me afraid, there are so many circumstances I would wish if my life got this way I could go to sleep and I cannot fathom why there are people in power who think otherwise. Then I think maybe it isn't so easy and people who are really ill, want to life to the last second because of their family and even if it hurts and it isnt beautiful they are glad for every second, your father in the last pic seems happy to be alive despite the circumstances. If my text crosses a line I'm sorry, I don't want to make anything harder for you, because of my life questions. Like always - to be in a specific situation gives you insight on something you cannot understand if you are not, and I'm really sensible, the suffering of others pains me myself. Maybe the government don't want to get people in the position to have to decide something, so hard. This is not a comparison in any way, but my old cat is quite ill, I know I can stop her life, but on one hand I don't want to take away her life, it isn't mine, I shouldn't have to make it, otherwise I think, I don't want her to suffer, she doesn't deserve to suffer and I have the power to stop it. I would wish I had this posibility for people i love, otherwise it must be the hardest decision to make. I atleast would like to write down things, how I wouldn't want to live further, but maybe these things change if you get in such a situation, maybe it depends on the person, some are fighters, some rather give up, they should atleast let people give up if they choose and do everything possible if they don't, really hard it must be, if the person cannot consent anymore. Sorry for this long text about me, I'm drowning in my own self pity and the love for my cat, I don't have children and therefore she is my baby. Everyday you see people suffer and I don't understand why we don't allow them to go and I'm afraid that someday I would have to fight for me or my loved one for the right to go or like some people terminally ill have to cross borders and give their last time and strenght only to get something we give our pets graciously, the right to die to make their pain stop.
