The guilt, the anger, the hurt I live with daily is something I would never wish upon someone.
I try to rationalize it all by saying she was in pain and it would only be selfish for me to want her to be here...however I don't think she fully explored all of her options.
YOu're talking about taking a step in a clear direction that you will never be able to correct...it's final...there is no coming back.
So with that in mind, explore all of your options fully, yes your chances according to your doctors are grim...however there are still chances..you're kid would rather have you around than a bank account full of money..and honestly would probably rather know that a disease took your life and not some action at your own hands.
You're talking about a decision making process he will not be able to even begin to comprehend for years to come...shit I'm 37 and am still trying to work through my mother's.
good luck, and good health.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I know what you're saying, I've always felt that suicide is the most selfish thing someone can do. But on the other hand, do you have any comfort at all about the fact that she is not suffering anymore? I don't know what her particular situation was, but I do think the medical community has this attitude to keep someone alive at all costs regardless, and I'm not sure that is right either.
