IF the La Grange family of Mrs. Mae Magouirk, had NOT put her in a Hospice to die, I would feel differently.
IF the La Grange family of Mrs. Mae Magouirk had respected her living will, which specifically said that she wanted food and hydration, I would feel differently.
When Mrs. Mae Magouirk was unable to eat on her own, IF the La Grange family had provided nourishment and hydration through a feeding tube, I would feel differently.
The fact is, the La Grange family of Mrs. Mae Magouirk, decided on their own without any Medical Power of Attorney to cease medical, life prolonging treatment (a Hospice by LAW cannot provide life prolonging care,) and that it was time for Mrs. Mae Magouirk to "Meet Jesus."
If everything you have written is true concerning Mrs. Magouirk's years of care being provided by her La Grange family I salute them and praise them for everything they did up until the time they unilaterally decided to cease life prolonging treatment for their kin. Up until that point, my hat's off to them, they did what millions of people all over the world do, and that is take care of our sick and ederly.
Living Will = Feed Me,
Unilateral decision to not provide nourishment through a feeding tube is NOT commendable. Also a bit spitefull that the La Grange family denied the sister and brother and nephew visitation and inclusion in medical decisions.
Mrs. Mae Magouirk is not chattel, and having Power of Attorney does not give anyone the right to deny food and hydration to anyone, even if given through a feeding tube. Particularly agrevious becasue it was in contradiction to her living will.
If the Good Lord calls Mrs. Mae Magouirk home do to a heart problem that resisted treatment, then that was her time to go. But until that time, do the words, "Feed my sheep" have any meaning to you?
How come posters who say "this is my last post, I will not reply to anything", never turn out to be sincere?? LOL!
