When my grandmother was dying from Alzheimer's, my grandpa and I were just chatting in a waiting room at the hospital and he told me how grandma was a fighter and wanted to do anything to stay alive, but he hated to see her suffer and didn't want that for himself. 

4 years later, grandma is dead, and I'm the first family member on scene to the hospital after Grandpa took a fall and was unconscious. His heart has stopped for several minutes and he had lost oxygen to his brain. They had restarted his heart, but I knew he who is was gone. They asked me what to do and knew immediately to take him off life support. He wasn't conscious and would never really be again.  I also knew tmy mom and my aunt were far away, and they would be devastated to make that call, so I decided to take the trauma for them both because I knew what he wanted. 

I often think back to how lucky it was I had that conversation randomly with him and then was also the one person there to make that decision. I idolized my grandfather and loved him dearly, so it was the hardest and best decision I have ever made.
