It's never fun watching a loved one die, but some ways are more painful than others.
Condolences to you, your wife, and her family.

Sorry to hear this Scott.
About ten years back my wife and I went to a county fair. By about noon she had a headache. We went home and she laid down for a nap. An hour or so later she got up and I took one look at her and hustled her into the car and to an ER just a mile and a half away. By the time I got her inside the building her she was so deep in shock they had to do a cut down to get a line in. With a couple doctors, me squeezing a bag of fluids in and a nurse on another bag, we got her stable. Two days in ICU and a day on the ward and I got her back. I was lucky. Sepsis can kill you so fast it's unreal, and the outcome far too often follows the route your FIL went. I've been trained. I live really close to a good ER. I still came within a blink. Don't let them beat themselves up. Just a tiny count of minutes and I'd have lost her. Just waiting for an ambulance would have killed her.

Condolences Scott. My mom was admitted to the ICU last weekend in septic shock. She spent 3 days on respiratory support but seems to be finally turning the corner....we'll see. It's been a miserable experience. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

The big problem with a living will is if the whole family isn't on board. The other is if you can't produce it. I've dealt too many times with situations where the will isn't around and/or the family isn't in step with the dying person's wishes. You've got a good woman there, Scott. Peace be with the family.

Is a miserable son of a bitch. I just watched my FIL fight it for 8 days until he flat lined with my his daughters and mother around him.
His mother is 85 and it this was the last of her 5 children to die. To watch my wife, her sister and their grandmother have to make decisions was miserable.
Viewing tonight and tomorrow morning followed by mass and then a full on Irish drinking wake.
My tip from all of this is whilst it's great to have a living will it does NO good if no one knows where the living will is kept.
I've never been so proud of anyone as I have been of my wife through all of this. She made the tough decisions that her sister couldn't/wouldn't make.
Scott, These sorts of things truly give insight into a person's true mettle. Sounds like you've got a great wife and you should indeed be proud of her. You and your family have my condolences.

Sorry for your loss Scott. Prayers for you and yours.
There always seems to be a sibling that can not make up their mind. My 2 sisters were useless, ended up being me and my younger brother that had to make the call.

I'm just happy to know that my wife will be able to pull the plug on me when the time comes, maybe even sooner....
Sorry you guys had to go through this. On the other hand, it's always good to know who you can count on. Tough way to find out. On the lighter side, if the wife isn't sure when it's your turn, I get the impression there are some volunteers around here eager to assist.

Scott,
My condolences to you, your wife, and her family. Sudden deaths are just as tough as long battles with cancer.
A friend of mine just told us two weeks ago that he had pancreatic cancer and the docs gave him 1 year worst case, 3 years best case. He died last night leaving his wife and their 10 yr old daughter.
