My grandpa with cirrhosis and dementia. Some days were ok, most were horrible. He made it 2 years bed ridden.
I worked for a DME part time off and on. We service lots of hospices, hospitals, nursing homes, etc. Watched a many people pass over the years. A few I was talking to while servicing equipment and they quit talking to me. I just have to go get a nurse. I can't legally perform any life saving measures. It doesn't bother me like it would most, but if I ever get in the shape some patients are, put me out of my misery.
Another side note. I know sometimes its a gotta do situation, but do the best you can to keep your parents or whomever out of a nursing home. I don't care how "nice" they look. Some nurses are nice and ok, but majority don't give a damn.

ended up on hospice. It’s tough watching them the last couple of days when they’ve quit eating and they are just laying there
