Thanks for sharing, JenInVen, and ((((((((hugs)))))))))))
You did the right thing and I know exactly how you felt afterwards.
I've done it twice, and both times I was called immediately thereafter to the "deathbed". First time by my aunt, second time by NM's doctor. So I gave up.
I guess, if your Mother listened to you and respected your decision, she must have loved you. My mother never loved me and I wish I'd come to that conclusion earlier in my life.
I'm afraid I'd need to put a restraining order on her to get the same result:)
however, now with my R and M in such danger, my NM is moving to the end of the queue. Finally!
I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders ____________________________________________________ M 46 H 45 D 17 M/T 23 Bomb #1 (ILYBNILWY) 12.06 Bomb #2 (OW) 12.07 Bomb #3 (chose OW over M) 9.08
