How old was your mom? Were her organs all still intact?
You do realize that they starved and dehydrated Terri without any painkillers of any kind, right?
You got to watch your mom “fade away slowly on drugs to keep her as comfortable as possible.”
Terri was not allowed to get one thing that would relieve pain. She wasn’t even allowed to have lip balm put on her cracked lips by her mom.
What Terri went through was absolute torture. Very, very different than your mom. Terri moaned and cried (no tears…not enough moisture in her body).
I guarantee you, the torture you think you felt with your mom, wasn’t even a fraction of what Terri and her parents and siblings went through.
Making direct comparisons is useless. Every case is different.
I’m not about to give all of my mother’s medical history to you, or anyone else as it’s none of your business.
What I shared is enough.
These situations are depressingly horrible, but inevitable.
I hope you have someone you trust and that loves you enough to make the decisions you approved of when your time comes.
