It's just horrible to watch a loved one helpless unable to breath well and you can't do anything for them. This is where the "I am at a loss" comes in. My dad doesn't want any special measures to help him live. Watching him doe such a slow and painful death is beyond words.

I am so sorry you and your dad are going through this. It's truly horrific and heartbreaking to watch.
I had nightmares about it when my mother in law was going through it. I'm praying that your dad will find peace and relief soon.
