how do you decide to killl/let your mom die.

[intruder]

Me and my great cousin are at the hospital where my grand aunt (her mom) is in the ICU. Been here all morning. She's 90 and has terminal cancer in her lungs. Something like that. I'm no doctor so don't quote me on the shyt.

Anyway, she's been in there for a week and is being pretty much kept alive by the breathing tube that's down in her throat.

Thing is she's conscious. Now back to my question: how do you look at your own mom who's conscious (tho barely) and decide when to pull the plug on the only thing keeping her alive?

I mean... I understand the part about not wanting to prolong a loved one's suffering but it's a bit easier to do it when they are unconscious. Not as easy when you are looking then in the eye

Id pull it with ease cos I love her.

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

I couldn't, especially her being conscious too?

Naw can't do that shyt. Legit not looking forward to this part of my life when it comes, not gonna handle this shyt well at all.

 

[NotAnFBIagent]

Better than watching them suffer/barely live to me

 

[Sin Simma]

Wow that's a tough one. I can't see or know that my mom is suffering everyday, and I'm here happy and enjoying life. This is very hard to fathom, but I'm going to have to pull the plug. She's not suffering any longer.

Hope the family stays strong during this rough period.

Does your great aunt have instructions on what to do in this situation? DNR?

I personally would not want to see my mom suffer.

 

[Anti-Anime]

I'm sorry about your great aunt breh . I don't think I could do it

 

[A.V.]

Pull the plug on my cot damn self instead

 

[IShotTheSheriff]

What are her wishes?

This is what it'd come down to me... that and if there are any chances of extending their stay (in this world) with much less suffering.

 

[MR. SNIFLES]

DON'T LET ME SUFFER LIKE THAT. PULL THAT PLUG. I GOT A CLAUSE FOR THAT shyt. IF I CAN'T BREATHE ON MY OWN, LET ME GO. UNLESS THEY PUT ME IN THAT STATE FOR A REASON.

 

[GoldCoastSaint]

Praying for your family.

 

[cjlaw93]

If it's time for her to go then it's time for her to go I'd rather see her go than suffer

 

[OVER]

Wow, I can't believe it. I've been in the hospital for over a week and I'm in the same situation. My mom has been battling ovarian cancer for a year but unfortunately it's time. Her heart stopped and has been restarted 4 times and she has irreparable brain damage.

My mother was a proud woman and sharp, she wanted to live and she fought for every breath she took, but her fight is over now and we're freeing her tomorrow. I don't know if there is a god, but my mother was a Christian woman and I hope for her there is one.
