[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. What I am looking for is for something to hasten parent to the end. They are in assisted living, on an anti-depressant, regular visits from family, lots of options for meals and activities. But.... 
Cannot enjoy life at all, unsafe without walker, doesn't participate in any activities, repeats the same complaints about the other residents, staff, over and over, is more demented each week (at this point only knows name, and lives in AL, but disoriented to date/year/time of day, more delusional). Being treated for UTI, but still not getting better mentally. Incontinent--and fighting wearing "diapers"--this has been going on for years. Anyway, if pain was an issue, Hospice can give narcs until you lapse into a coma and pass. So, honestly, parent needs a merciful end. 
It's a shame we have spend our last years in such a state. I don't know.

So you want someone to kill her?[/quote]

Wow. You are not taking care of your parent enough.

If your parent is getting a uti, thre is a good chance they are making her sit in wet diapers. Which is probably why she does t want to wear them.[/quote]
