[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are worse things than death...[/quote] +1. I don't understand why some kids want everything medically possible done for their parents when mom/dad is incontinent, demented, bed-bound, and basically a vegetable. [/quote] When you need to pull the plug on someone you love, you'll understand. I say if other people not dying bothers you, try dying yourself. This may give you the needed perspective.[/quote] Done it for both of my parents actually and agree with the need to let go at some point - neither of them wanted to be around. My mom had asked me to help get her pills to end it the year before she physically deteriorated and ultimately died - she was deaf and sat in a wheelchair all day in a diaper. My dad was out of his mind with dementia, and my mom and siblings and I all agreed to let him die from untreated cancer using only care to keep comfortable instead of going on indefinitely. [/quote]
