Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and wishes. I went and saw mum again last night and I'll go again this morning before I go to work this arvo. Just to explain the situation a bit, mum is 94 and was sent to Frankston emergency last week with a badly infected foot. Amputation was discussed but the consesus was that she would not survive the surgery. She is now receiving palliative care and pain management (morphine every 4 hours) and she is now refusing food and water. She made it very clear to me a few years ago that she did not want to be put on life support .............
I just received a phone call that mum has passed away...............gotta goTo grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

I'm so sorry for your loss John. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
Regards, Woodwould.

Ah mate, sorry to hear that.
FWIW your Mum had courage and decided she'd had enough. Right choice for her; still hard for you.Cheers, Ern

Not really hard for me at all Ern, the state she was in was nothing like the woman I knew as I was growing up and it troubled me greatly to see her mind and body disintegrate the way it did the over the last few years. Originally Posted by rsser

No GJ, of course it's best that they're out of their misery and esp. if they make that choice themselves.
Yes though; it's still hard when they're finally gone.
Prob the best thing I did with my Dad was sit with him while he died of pneumonia. He was close to vegetable status and this was a family decision not to pump him full of antibiotics. It took him 36 hours to die though and I no longer think of as benign that simple phrase 'withdrawal of medical care'.Cheers, Ern

Again, thank you all for you kind thoughts. The idea that total strangers take the time to express their sympathies restores some faith in the human race
