>There has been speculation that he had a painkiller addiction. Was he taking any?

No. I just felt overall that he felt lost. He was gone. I could see straight through him. It was the hardest thing to see, looking at someone you love, and you can't have a conversation with them, and you can see straight through their eyes.

Saw that happen to a grand parent, very close to me, though through Alzheimer's / Dementia. It's tough. Very grateful she sat down to share her experience and be open as possible; to me that takes a lot of strength. Also, what it can mean for education of parents for care for their children into adulthood is a good community contribution.
