On 12/20/2023 my 84 year old mother had a large stroke with onset atrial fibrillation. The stroke left right side paralysis but she was moving the left side. A few days after the stroke she had bleeding on the brain after which we noticed that she wasn’t moving her left side anymore.
She seems to be in a coma like state, she’s not responding just eyes open from time to time. The doctors said there’s nothing more they can do. The day before the stroke my mother was at bingo and lived independently. I decided end of life care with hospice but find myself going back over if I made the right decision? My mother didn’t want help even if she needed help, you would have to help her anyway. She rarely called for anything and was active in church, went to stores and got around pretty good. She didn’t have advanced wishes in place so I based my decision on how she lived her life.
May God hold you close as you walk this road with her.
All the best to you at this difficult time.
Do not feel guilty. Feel grief, but not guilt. I'm so sorry for your loss. May you receive peace in your heart and be comforted by memories of your time with her.
Sorry for your impending loss .
Yes, in my humble opinion you have made the most loving, most strong, best decision on earth for your mother. My condolences. There would be no coming back from this to anything that is any quality of life.
Bless you for your strength in honoring what you know is right for your dear mom. She'll always be with you; I guarantee it.
You know your mother and the way that she lived her life. You absolutely made the correct decision.
I am so sorry that you are going through this. Wishing you peace as you continue on this difficult journey.
