My father is 88 yo, almost incontinent and can barely walk so is almost housebound. He told me today he no longer wants to live. Any advice?

that is scary . my dad is 97 . he says different things like that too . best i can do is comfort him . he gets visits from us morning noon and night . he still lives at home . still pretty good at taking care of himself . i get him up in morning . help with breakfast , brother at noon for some sort of dinner . then me back in evening to fix supper . bath on Saturday . Mom was a cancer survivor . she just one day said she was tired . slowed to a stop on eating and taking meds. wishing and prayers for the best for you and your father .
