She just gave up

I think that sometimes the greatest act of love we can do is to let go. I don{t believe in extending life more that what it was meant to be. That, for me, is just another act of our pride.

I would have taken your standpoint. I would not have wanted to lose her, at all. But on the other hand, you can't force something on somebody that they are uncomfortable with and you are not walking in their shoes. I am very, very sorry for your loss. I would have just told her how much I love her and how much she means to me. And I would continue to tell her that to this day.

It is hard to know that our love one is sick and has the possibility to die because of it. What more could be painful than hearing her say that she is giving up her life? That is somehow nerve-wrecking! But I do understand that sick people might become hopeless when they knew about their prognosis. So what should weigh more- being in debt with the medical bill or to have you loved one stay longer? But if the patient is already giving up and you see no progress with the treatment, I think that eventhough it would hurt us so much, we just have to let her go.

I would have wanted to argue for my own selfish reasons of not wanting to lose them but I wouldn't do it... Your right when you said you weren't the one suffering. I would have thought about that too. And if someone has truly had enough, just let them be in peace is how I feel about it...

I understand how you feel, my grandmother who past away few years ago also decided to refused any treatment instead let her go because she want to rest and be with my grandfather. Although it hard to accept and let her go but we respected her decision. We never argued with her instead we make her feel comfortable and do our best to express our love to her. I think in this situation we better not to argue or forced our old relatives or anyone to undergo any treatment if they don't want too we just need to respect their decision.
