Sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my Dad three years ago and when he started undergoing care, and whilst he was still coherent he was asked if he wanted to be resucitated and he very defintely said No.
I was with him when he passed and I saw the pain and agony he went through just before (he had pancreatic cancer) and his passing was a blessing as all he was doing was living in agony.
I've never told my family about how he was, there's no reason to put them through it.
I lost my brother at the age of 65 through suicide which nobody saw coming, that's hard as you continually question what you could have done to stop it happening.

Quote by the philosopher Thomas Hobbes in the 17th Century: 'Life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short'.
It is interesting that the reason for this was not given until the late 20th Century.
Richard Dawkins from the first chapter of Unweaving The Rainbow:
“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?”
I find this strangely comforting.
