This is the slippery slope to killing my mother. She has dementia and does nothing everyday except sit in a chair and listen to TV. She has no pain.

Some would say it's her time to die. Over my dead body!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can still relate to her, I can still talk to her, I can still love her, I can still be her daughter. No one is going to take that away from her family and I will see to it that whoever does sufferes the consequenses.

It's up to God when her time comes, no one elses. Just because someone seems to us not to be here for a purpose does not make it so. It's the healthy they are here for. To teach us what we need to learn about love and caring.

Funny, I just got a call this minute from the carehome. The doctor ordered an antibiotic for my mother since she seems to be coming down with an upper respirtory infection. No one saying---"oh she seems to be getting sick, she isn't worth much anymore so do not waste any meds on her". That would be the sick thinking. Just who is worthy of being here and who is the usless one? The heartless ones are the useless ones IMO. They scare me but I will still leave it up to God to decide on them as well.
