I’m sure each of them has put it in writing that that’s what they want their kids to do to them. Right? Huh?
If I am stuck in bed and people are starving me to death, I hope that aomeone will stick a loaded gun in my hand. I pray that I will have enough strength to aim it and pull the trigger-
and shoot the SOB’s that are starving me to death.
And yet you wallow in it.
I’m wondering why the youngest daughter didn’t try going to court to have a guardian appointed for her mother?
Yep, the Nazis did this to all of their “useless eaters”. Did it the same way at first as well, starved them to death. Then decide that it was more efficient to gas them instead. Give it 5 or 10 more years and they’ll be doing the same here as well as it will be more “humane”. Our brave new world awaits!
I would be at total war with my family members over this.
I certainly wouldn’t be in a state to be allowed at my parent’s bedside. And my brother and sister would never be able to speak to me again, because every time I saw their face, they would get holy h*ll.
Perhaps the mother had appointed her son as her legal guardian? It is also tough when it’s two against one. I am heartbroken for this daughter.
Morphine is an Opiate it will make you very
constipated and will kill you in the end.
My father died like that but it took weeks.
“Mild Stroke Leads to Mother’s Starvation”
OK, I’m the youngest daughter, and I’m watching this horror inflicted on my mother. I write a heart wretching article and refer to her as “an old woman” as I sit there and hold her hand?
This article reeks of fraud. If that were my mother, you can bet I would take that hospital and everyone envolved apart piece by piece to rescue her, and if I had to spend the rest my days in jail for it, no way in hell I would do nothing!!!
If you think there is any possibility someone in your family would be murdered in this way, get them out of that facility, get them home, get the best in-home care you can get, and take care of them yourself! No matter how primitive your home care may be, it will be worlds better than death by dehydration and starvation! And you will spend the rest of your days with a clear conscience knowing you did your best!

Bears repeating!!!!!
Interesting about the morphine. However there are some people who are dying from cancer that require the morphine every 3-4 hours to keep their pain down. This is a sad case but there are legitimate reasons to give morphine every 3-4 hours.
Some people do. Without going into personal details, some very close relatives of mine signed advance directives specifying that, under certain circumstances, they were to be denied food and water and given only pain medication.
Man I want them to feed me.
If I become incontinent, my mind is blown with alzheimers, my body filled with bed sores,, gasping for breath, I want my family to spend every dime they have to keep me alive so I can suffer. I don’ want any of them to get a penny’s inheritance, I want it all spent with the nursing home keeping me alive in a vegetative state.I ant my two daughters to have to come and watch me waste away in pain from terminal cancer or whatever else I have, just feed me, If I cannot eat, dose me up with that liquid crap they put in my veins that keeps me alive so my kids can take time away from their families to watch me die after eating for a long time.If I am totally useless, have no mind, have no chance of recovery, just keep feeding me until they go broke , the government goes broke, and then bury me with the $200 dollars Social security gives for the purpose.
Yeah thats the way I want to go, lying there with my family grieving for me every day and saying what a sad case I am waiting to die.
Been here, done this, watched my mom die from degenerative brain disease...she appeared not to know anybody for months as her body shut its own self down, her feet had been almost black for a week...and then one day out of the blue she clamped her jaws and fought the food and wouldn’t or couldn’t swallow.
We did keep feeding intravenously as long as her eyes opened and let shaved ice melt on her tongue. We didn’t know what she knew inside those blank eyes. The last day as the gray veil came over her face and the doc said pneumonia, how do you want to handle this. We allowed him to take the tube away, but kept the shaved ice coming as long as she’d hold it on her tongue.
We sat and visited, and we all gave her permission to go when she’s ready and too tired to fight. And then she closed her eyes, but the breaths kept coming. On the last two or three, I know this sounds morbid, but my older brother bent over to his Mom’s ear and said, “I know, you’re getting even with me now aren’t ya for torturing your precious daughters.” We all just burst out laughing...and then we looked at Mom saw those same pearls light her face, and said, ‘Go home, Mom. Go to Daddy.’ And she did.
One of my spiritual guru type high school friends who had come in to see if we needed coffee, leaned over and said, “The angels are there in the corner to take your Mom, and your Dad’s there with them.” Wished I could’ve seen that.
I don’t know how anybody could deny the parent sustenance as long as they are willing. Can you imagine saying, ‘OK God, let’s get this show on the road, I’m done with this, come get her! Oh geebus....
