Good thoughts and blessings to you and your Mum, from
Erica and Bryn.
My beloved and I have an undiscussed understanding. She has had arthritic pain for as long as I have known her ; and, like anyone else, some days are better than others.
We are agreed that if the other is in unbearable pain, or has no quality of life, the other will not impede what the sufferer wishes to do.
I cried my guts out when we had our old pussy cat put to sleep because she was suffering. You (not you personally, the "book review" 'you' !) wouldn't do to a dog what we are forced to let our loved ones go through.
