He is still trying to live. Dad continues to take his meds. Does everything to make himself healthier. He does however voice his desire to die. We lost mom last year after 65 years of marriage. He has been pretty broken hearted. He is on an antidepressant. I just dont know if it is time to stop meds and just deal with comfort care...such as pain relief and sleep issues. He is 90. Ideas? I think I am being selfish by wanting him to stay...he has been living with us for over a year.
Your dad experience depression due to the loss of your mom so try to help your dad spend more time with family, friends, and other people. Convince him to socialize and have fun. Try conducting indoor activities that is suitable for your dad's physical condition so he will give less attention to things that makes him sad and depressed.
