Bob,

I am sorry to hear about your mother.

I faced a similar situation ten years ago with my mother. She had always told me she did not want to finish her life dependent on external support, but she had not executed a DNR. I had her medical power of attorney. As her situation deteriorated her doctors started to nudge me in the direction of removing her from life support. I was nearly overwhelmed by the thought that I was being asked permission to end my mother's life. All of my prior discussions with her about her wishes no longer seemed important. I resisted the doctors until it was obvious that there was no hope and I finally gave my assent. While I know at an intellectual level that I made the right decision, it still haunts me at a personal level.

I hope that your mother recovers and eventually dies peacefully in her sleep many years from now. My prayers are with her, you and your family.

Glenn
