I think you did the right thing. Once you’re past 75 years old and in rapidly failing health, who wants to end up prolonging the agony of a certain death, which just ends up being both a financial and emotional drain for everyone involved.
Exactly-—
the issue is we now have ways to keep people alive that we didn’t have 50 years ago....
tube feedings, dialysis, ventilators, IV fluids etc.
A miracle and blessing for some, but just prolonging death not life for others.
I did not make the decision. Mom made the decision against our wishes and I have to give her credit for no lack of courage.
Why is 75 the magic number for you?
