It’s hard.

Mum was a week away from her 95th birthday and she had lost a lot of her hearing which severely impacted her life. Then the last year her eyes were going and she found it hard to read. Plus everyday she was in pain. So that last time she was in the hospital she said no to being resuscitated. So when the hospital asked me if I wanted hospice or to send her back to the nursing home I said hospice. Because that’s what she wanted. I think it’s pretty clear what certain people want. I’ve already got a will, a living will and a psychiatric will. My daughter and my sister both have copies. I used to be a CNA and never want to end up a vegetable. Being forced fed and given meds to stay alive. If we can do that for our pets do it for me too.
