I'd like to say, that if ever I am in the position 3Refs Mom is, I hope the one I love who has to make the tough decision to take me off meds, life support, whatever, will do just that.

I will need him/her to be strong for me, if I cannot answer for myself.

3Refs, sorry to hear about your Mom and the decision you are left with. We had to make the same decision with my mother-in-law. I wish I had learned something from the experience to tell you that would make your path easier. I didn't. But at least know that you are not the only one who has had to walk that path. God bless.

Good luck man, and best wishes.

I lost my Mum last year, but remembering that her very blood, life-force - and all the years of learning from her example, remained in 'flesh and blood' within *me*, reminded me on the day she died that I very literally, I would never be separated from her - even in death.

You'll find the strength you need to make the choices you need to make, *from* those tough times that you've been through before... x

Somehow I thought I'd posted to this back on the tenth. 3refs, a $#@!-reduction candle series has been going for you and your mother since this thread started. It's to help things go as smoothly as possible, you know, and keep the $#@! to a minimum. My heart goes out to you both.

I wished we had been allowed to make this choice after my mum had her stroke. She suffered for another 2 years being 'peg fed', unable to talk or move.

Your mum has had a good, long life this time and hard though it is making this decision has been part of your 'learning' this time round.
Hug her and tell her how much you love her. She'll always be there for you in your mind if not in body.

Lots of love, hugs and bright blessings
Tig xxxx

As one who has lost several relatives over the years withing a few days of the same holiday, the only advice I can give you right now is to do you best not to tie the holiday to your loss. What is, is.

3refs

You are in my thoughts. I know you will miss her and will wish it could have been different, time longer, suffering less.

Try to focus (I know from experience this is very hard) on the past joys and the fact that she is not suffering now.

She would want that, wouldn't she?
