Mum had a stroke in November 2002, followed by two years of full-time care from Dad at home, followed by a TIA, followed by another stroke almost two years to the day since the first one. She's in a Palliative Care ward in the wonderful hospice in Harold's Cross, and is likely to spend the rest of her life there. She too is "DNR, palliative care only". I understand how you feel, and am glad that you at least get to say "goodbye" rather than "if only".
