Typing that sentence is horrific. But it'a how I feel about it....
its a decision my wife and her brother had to make. they knew her mother wouldn't want to live like that and eventually instructed the hospital to stop going to special lengths to keep her going and within two months she was gone. she actually seemed to be improving once they took her off a bunch of the meds but one day she had a nap and never woke up. it was no life at all for her, it was a living hell.
