Hey Fellas: My friends mom was taken off life support, and has been given some morphine to keep her as comfortable as possible as she slips away. A few of us are sleeping in short shifts , becuase he is a distance away and needs to keep in contact. Im feeling for this guy , keep him in mind and prayers today.It can take a while, but the eventuality of her passing is certain, and having lost both parents I know the pain he is feeling.

PS She passed early Mon. AM , she is at peace now

Yea, that's a drag.  We have a similar situation here with a friend of many years.  Peace will find them soon, no more pain.  

Muddy,

My thoughts are with you as I am in the same situation, my grandma is just passing time until she passes.  She was given 3-5 days to live 2 months ago and now it is coming to an  end and my dad and aunts are taking shifts.  Either way my thoughts are with you and all involved.

Dom,

Your heart is huge dude,

but don't get too tired, capisce?

thanks fellas,

I understand how difficult this is, will be praying.

I know exactly how this goes muddy and I pray for you and your friends.  Letting go by disconnection is the hardest decision most can make.  Find comfort in knowing her pain will be no more when it's over.

Sounds like we have a few members that need our thoughts, prayers, and support.  You have mine!

 Both parents passed quite a while ago. Father kept on life support too long. Like cart7 said "letting go by disconnect is the hardest decision most can make". If I'm ever in that situation, hopefully someone will make that decision sooner than later. My hopes and thoughts go to you and your friends...

                                                    As Ever,

She is still lingering. I do not know this lady so I am not feeling hjer passing but have a lot of concern for her son.

If you're lucky, it's simply a part of life.  To ease a loved one's final days, just by being there, is both a burden and a privilege.  The burden is the painful loss. The privilige is being there to hold a dying hand and to know, deep down, that you were loved, and that your presence helped ease the passing.

Dom,

As I go to bed tonight, I will hold your friend in my prayers.  

God bless,

Fisher
