Definitely, Lisa.
It is one reason I was so very grateful for Hospice. Despite my parents both having very specific and good living wills, there was just no getting around many, many decisions on a daily basis. All while exhausted; all while emotionally wrung out. I was very grateful that the Hospice nurses were available as sounding boards, as a source of alternative opinions I could weigh, and as simply a true comfort...reminding me I was doing the best I could with the information I had available.
