At the end, my Grandfather was delusional from either the pain or the pain meds. He walked up and down the hospital corridor looking for something familiar.
He didn't know who most of us were, including my mom (his only daughter). He recognized me at times. He kept asking "Matt, when is this plane going
to land?" and "Can you help me find my red bedroom?" It was horrific to be anywhere near that process with a loved one... I cannot imagine
being the one going through it.

My grandmother was diagnosed with it when she was in her early nineties. She had suffered through the pain for a few months without letting any of us know.
Finally it got to a point where she had to go to the hospital in early December. But she was a very strong-willed person and willed herself out of that
hospital to host one more Christmas dinner. She was never an especially affectionate person, but she hugged each of us for the longest time that day before we
left. She died less than a month later. I'm still amazed, thinking back, at how she was able to get out the hospital to host that last dinner knowing how
far along her illness was.
