[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the book Being Mortal. It might help with decisions. There is no right it wrong path.[/quote] What are you saying? Put her down? It sounds like she's still going (pretty) strong. [/quote] No, that isn’t what PP is suggesting. Being Mortal is an exploration and meditation on end of life care, and why it is so interventionist and frankly traumatic. It isn’t because it makes anyone’s life better. You can decide to step off the automatic intervention train and consider each in the lights another P suggested. What is the goal here? In my dad’s last years he decided to forgo cancer treatment, dental care, and myriad other heath concerns because they didn’t bring him more quality of life. Dying wasn’t the enemy, loneliness and pain were the enemy. That’s what Being Mortal is about. Do read it - it’s fantastic.[/quote]
