But the point is.

They feel like they need to do all they can to save them so they don't feel like they quit on them. I work in long term care for a long time. It can be heartning to see it. Its easier from the nursing point of view because we know they would be more comfortable...even though I know I wouldn't do that to my loved one....if i was in their shoes i am sure i would still think twiceLivingDeadNursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330559010315448255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1132178899418644763.post-81888260162631876372010-06-18T08:00:23.627-07:002010-06-18T08:00:23.627-07:00It's really a hard decision even when you know...It's really a hard decision even when you know exactly what they want. I had to be the one to make that decision in April when my dad passed. He went into a full code and I was the only one at the hospital at the time. I knew he wouldn't want to live like that but all I could think of was how could I let my Daddy die? I did tell them to make him comfortable and he passed fairly peacefully but I second guess myself every day because I miss him so much. Try not to be too rough on the family, but I totally understand where you are coming from too.Pam the Realtorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01286581308987400253noreply@blogger.com
