Sorry to hear you're on the downhill slope with your Dad, Griff. Of course we can never know how we'll feel until we get there, but I've often thought I would prefer something relatively quick and unexpected for my parents. I can't decide whether that's purely selfish or not, and of course we don't get to decide in any case.
But you sound like the most well-adjusted member of your story, so at least your brother will have someone there for him. Maybe your dad too--having watched 4 relatives go in different ways, it's become very clear that the bitter ones suffer far more than the accepting ones, in addition to the extra burden it places on their loved ones. Maybe your brother would feel better if he were able to see your Dad being in a peaceful place about it himself.
