Life Must Go On

She was sick during the night, the doctor called my brother and we had to decide if to go for an invasive therapy or let her go. Since the day she had the stroke she was paralyzed and in pain. I hope we took the best decision. Now she can rest in peace.

@LadyDuck That was most likely the sensible decision because invasive treatment would surely increase her discomfort. There is no benefit in elongating life if it amounts to greater discomfort for a longer period.

@Asylum We knew she would have never recovered and she would have never been able again to eat, drink, speak, walk and use her hands. This is not life.

I don't think we can ever be prepared for a life shattering event such as the loss of your mother. I've been thinking about your situation all over Christmas Anna, and hoping that she would have a peaceful end. Condolences, but at least she is not suffering now.

Thank you Janet, I was not sure she would have seen the end of the year, when I saw her the 31st I knew that it would have been our last time together. She was very unwell that day, I am sure she is better now.

My brother just called to let me know that we can place her in the family crypt, where my father and his parents already rest. I know how much he wanted to stay near my father. I am glad they gave the authorisation.

I only feel better thinking that she is no more in pain and she is now free. The last two months she was not living, she was vegetating.
