Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 I wanted to join in and say that our family has also made this difficult choices but we know it is for the best. Mom would had to have a tube or a machine keep her alive. We have found over the years that its best to take one day at a time and one crisis at a time or it just becomes too overwhelming. Preparation at the beginning has really helped as we are all on the same page.
