My mother isn't physucally dead yet, but she may as well be. Zero quality of life. Can't walk, has double vision so sje can't read or watch TV, can't retain a thought in her head for longer than a couple of minutes, can't even use a toilet by herself. After years of being the Eastern Canada distributor of "active and involved" in life, she's basically a potted plant now. She could live another 5 years since she's otherwise pretty healthy, but she's already gone. Every time I visit she's harder to "find".
