[quote=Anonymous]Please follow your parent's wishes. I know how hard it is when you know that it may cause their end of life. I had to make that decision for my dad. I said no to a life saving surgery because I knew he would not want to live with what that surgery would do to me. It was difficult knowing he would die by my declining it, but I've always felt rather peaceful about his death because I knew it would be what he wanted. I'm also a nurse and have seen this professionally many, many times. Please, please respect their wishes. They are ready to go, that's why they made those choices. Going against them, and prolonging their life is for you, not them. And that's really unfair. See if you can get a palliative team involved in your parent's care. They can help walk through decisions and choices that can/need to be made. [/quote]
