One of my neighbours suffered like your family member but with lung cancer. He was not able to sleep a full night because of his breathing, he was refusing to eat, and the pain was terrible. He chose to take all his medicines one evening. Assisted suicide and euthanasia are illegal where we live so he made his daughter go out with her friends (she's an adult and was visiting for a week) whilst his wife was away for an evening so he could do it and they wouldn't be implicated. His wife was so sad she couldn't be with him, that he had to do it alone.
