have you ever given the ok personally.....

I'm the only child of my mother and we've already discussed not letting her suffer. She hates pain and she has a DNR.

I already know it's gonna be a rough one.

Hopefully this doesn't offend anyone who has had to go through it. But I left feels like there is something beautiful about a person who has lived their life, on their terms, and who decides at the end of their life when and how they go out. I always salute people who are like 'Yeah, I've lived a full life, my children are grown and happy, and I don't wanna deal with whatever I'm dealing with. So I'm outta here! Remember me fondly!'.

And it's honorable to be that person that they know for a fact that they can count on to make sure their wishes are adhered to.

My mom definitely didn’t have that mentality, but she came to terms with passing. She had been in and out of hospitals for years dealing with COPD and up until the day before she passed she thought she’d get treated and released. She lived a rough life on top of that, being homeless at times and scraping to get by. I didn’t know how bad off she was until I saw her just before her passing.

As far as counting on me I don’t think she looked at it like that since we had been estranged. It just fell in my lap being the oldest child.

I do hope when I go I have the mentality you speak of though and based off of my life right now I think I will.

My dad's mom had a DNR and it was solid. We were in the hospital crying our eyes out because we thought she could be saved after her stroke because her eyes kept opening and closing but the Dr would say that's her body making reactions. My dad, aunt and uncle didn't try to fight it but I didn't want to hear that shit at first. Wasn't my decision to make but myself and cousins was sad and pissed. They took her off the machines and she passed.

Looking back it I understand it and I have thw same thing in place I don't want my son to have to make that tough decision. If it my time to walk with God then so be it.

Told him I got him

Yeah I've made it 100% clear that I don't want machines keeping me alive. If it's my time then it's my time and I don't want my family fighting it
