[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, at least you know what she wants.

My anti-vax aunt came down with Covid last year, and insisted she did not want to consult a doctor or go to the hospital. She died in her sleep several days into her Covid illness. My mother felt a lot of resentful against my aunt's husband, who did not call an ambulance. On the other hand my aunt was adamant.

You might have some hard decisions in the future, OP. Ask her every now and then, just to check she hasn't changed her mind.[/quote]

Your mother can feel whatever she wants, but I certainly hope she didn't say anything to your uncle. Your aunt made her wishes known and they were respected. Assuming she isn't seriously mentally ill of cognitively impaired her wishes should be respected.

Have you seen what the end looks like for many? It's a pretty awful tortuous ordeal. May we all be so fortunate as to pass in our sleep when the time comes. [/quote]

Yeah I mean I think she is a dumbass for not getting vaccinated but depending on how old she was, dying in her sleep rather than living in poor condition for years is kind of a toss up as to which was the better decision.[/quote]
