What Tex said.

Pray for comfort and thankfulness of 94 years.

These are signs she’s ready to go.

It’s sad. Chokes me up.

Sadly, I agree. Your mom is doing what mine did. I understood and sat by her side holding her hand.

You need to obtain professional help and guidance. Your mother most likely needs to be in a full care facility. I’ve had to deal with the same problem and with guidance from a psychiatrist, psychologist and general practitioner, this was the correct advice for me and my father.

I do not have Power of attorney ...

Unfortunately, the time to have a discussion about letting someone go needs to happen while the person is still cognizant. I'm sorry you have to go through with this. It is a rough situation to be in the middle of.

I was given the power of health decisions for my mom in the event she was unable to respond, including a "no resuscitate" clause in her health directive (she had a long list of comorbidities). She signed that document while she understood what she was signing. It actually came to that point when I got a call in the middle of the night saying she wasn't responding. Despite her directive, I gave the OK to send her to the hospital. It's tough to let go even when it's what the person wants. As it is, God had other plans, and the phone call I received 10 minutes after the first one confirmed it. I knew before I answered the second call.
