I have a medical directive not to prolong my life unnecessarily. This issue is very complex highly emotional and not many spouses want to be left with the decision

During the last year of my mom's life, one of the people at the dialysis center told my dad that if he stopped my mom's dialysis, that would be an alternative. I was rather taken aback that a dialysis center staff member would suggest that. My father didn't take that route as he could not have lived with himself. I agree that this is a very complex and emotional issue.
