Dementia? I'm very sorry for what you are going through.

I'm betting if she were in her right frame of mind she'd thank you for your compassion.

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope it isn't too hard on you.

Oh gosh. So hard. That's a really difficult decision. My thoughts are with you.

The experience of dealing with elderly parents can be some of the most difficult in our journeys. I wish your mother peace and hope you and your family find comfort in this difficult time.

Just went through this with my wife of 30 years. She had gone deaf and blind from Muscular Dystrophy. Her instructions were to not call the doctor if she were having breathing issues. She was having some issues, I just curled up next to her and held her. She smiled.

My sincerest sympathies for your ordeal, and your mother's condition.
It's never easy. Hopefully, the end comes peacefully and quickly.

So terribly sorry to hear this. Both of my parents are gone now but it was never wady seeing them age. It is truly sad.

I'm so sorry baby girl! I'm off tomorrow. I'll probably sleep all day. Stay strong love! I will hit you tomorrow.

And THIS is when I wish people could be as lucky as any dog I own who is too old to enjoy life and in pain, can't see, can't hear, and when the tail can't wag, it's over. I also belong to a Right To Die group..... and they don't let each other suffer. And you know what? Sometimes "ALL of her meds" could be making her worse than she should be. Look at it this way. You are no longer interfering with nature. And there is nothing wrong with that. <3 <3

So sorry. Dementia is such a horrible illness

Sounds like you have made the correct choice for her.

That is difficult to decide upon, sorry to hear such. Sounds like you and your sisters made the best decision though, as hard as it be.

I fully appreciate how bad this feels...taking matters into our own hands, about the care and fate of a loved one, is the hardest thing anyone will ever have to do. That is, if you believe everyone has a right to make his own choices. I have had to help make the decision to 'pull the plug,' on my brother and it was the hardest thing that I have ever done! In your situation, there is a possibility that adverse reactions from meds, could be contributing to the problem. I have friends, where that was the case. My heart goes out to you...

It is very sad, and you are very brave doing what you feel is right for your family

Dementia is awful. Saw both my father's parents and my maternal grandfather and my father in law go through it and my father is showing initial signs of it at 74. You are doing the right thing.

I am sorry for your loss. We went through something similar with a relative a few years ago. It is a very difficult decision.

Sad.

As a man of age 81, I empathize with your mother. I will end my own life before I will go into a nursing home.

It's a terribly tough decision but if you really feel that you know what your mother's wishes would have been (or if she has an advance directive) you can feel a bit better knowing you are doing what she would do if she were still cognitively able to make those choices. <3 So very sorry, it's never easy. Many of us have been there.

So understand what you're going through. Hope you make it through with the least amount of horribleness possible. My sympathies.

We had to do that with my mom also. She was only 51, but she had premature dementia caused by multiple sclerosis. She was bed-ridden and her quality of life was non existant. It was a very hard decision to make, but even now I know it was the right decision. She never would have wanted to live like that if she could have made the choice herself. Peace be with you.

I share your sadness and laud your courage. It's not pleasant or easy, but it's how thing go. Treasure her memory and live a testimony to the good in her.

I'm so sorry. But, as others have said better than I could, you're doing the right thing by her.

Had to deal with parents who had dementia as well. It was very difficult when their immune systems break down they often succumb to pneumonia.

Tough decision, but probably the correct one. My best to you and your sisters. When she passes, remember the good times and move on.
