I've been in the same situation a couple of years ago. Euthanasia is legal here, so my grandmother signed a contract to end her life when the quality of life was reduced too far. Sadly, the doctor didn't comply with the contract as it was signed when she was showing mental issues (brain tumor). So she too had to wait for death to come, receiving ever higher doses of morphine to combat the dreadful pain she must have been in. It's a situation that helps nobody.

My grandmother took all her nitroglycerin pills at once when the dementia set in the first time. Saved her from being tortured by my grandfather.
