Hey Joe. Prayers go out to you and Luv. All you can ask for is strength it is really tough to come by sometimes.
I can't relate, but my dad's dad died in March. I paid close attention to what they did because there was a lot to learn prior to when I have to do it (hopefully a LONG ways down the road). He was on dialysis and had been for 9 years. When he started it, they gave him 2 years to live. By the end, he was pretty beat up. He couldn't do much. It was really tough for me to see him like that because all of my life he had been so strong and physically able.
Anyway, towards the end, I gained a new respect for my dad and aunts and uncles. They handled keeping him comfortable and handled the succession of his assets with upstanding professionalism. For about 6 years they dealt with the constant expectancy of death. It's really a tough situation for the kids.
What I gleaned from my dad's experience is you have to find peace in the fact that they have lived their life to the fullest. Eventually that must end and you are charged with continuing life and making the best of your opportunities as they did theirs.
Best of luck bud. It is a tremendous challenge, but I have confidence you will handle it well.
