Category: Family & Relationships

The true story of a New Hampshire family's struggle after their father's strokes, Shadowdad describes how they deal with his incapacitation, loss of abilities and worst of all, loss of dignity. He becomes abusive toward those he loves and who love him. As he lingers on, the hospital ignores the instructions in his living will and continues to take extraordinary measures to keep him alive. Assisted suicide and all its implications become something the family considers.
