I experienced my first loss of a loved one as an adult when my grandfather died last year at 92.He fought to live all the way until the end, never giving up.The thought of interfering in his fight never entered my mind even when it was clear he would lose it.The granddaughter in this article seems as though she's ending her grandmother's life for her own convenience not grandma's.

Thanks for sharing!

I often think about how in my granma's last hours- my uncle said- it's okay-- you can let go-- she squeezed his hand HARD-- and shook her head "NO!"

can't go on.. my heart aches..

Yes, the grandaughter in this case certainly had an agenda.

The way my post read may have been deceptive. When I talked of baby Sun I was talking about a recent case in Texas where a 5 month old baby was withdrawn from life support.

He was born with tiny lungs that could never support him.

I have lost both parents to cancer. We had wonderful Hospice support with my Mother. My Father was in the hospital and fought like your Grandfather did. It's never easy. This grandaughter was deliberately killing her grandmother!
