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
