[quote=Anonymous]A friend just went through this with her Mom - she was over 90 and decided it was time to go. Stopped eating, stopped drinking and then just fell asleep. It was a really good way for her to go and our friend is so thankful she got to be with her Mom at home and say goodbye properly. My own grandma seems to be going into that phase now as well. She is over 90 as well and has just stopped eating a few days ago. I feel like this will be it. Yes it's sad...but I truly think if they can leave that way we should be very very thankful. Keep the hospital out of it, but if there's pain you can get help, you can get a nursing service for example. My friend did this, I am not sure if my Mom will do the same for my grandma. It depends if there's pain, trouble breathing or anything that would make the passing days or weeks a struggle.[/quote]
