Re: When the treatment should stop
Unfortunately dying, or living a life that has lost all meaning, can sometimes take a very long time and be hugely distressing to the person and their family. My lovely mum died of Alzheimers 2 years ago after 5 years of agonising decline. My dad struggled to care for her longer than he was really able, and then she spent the last 2 years in the dementia unit of a care home. He still feels incredibly angry that her last few years were so dreadful. He has recently made a Living Will for himself as he clearly doesn't want the same to happen to him.Re: When the treatment should stop
My mother has kicked dying into touch, and is up and about again and a thousand times more difficult than before! If she was totally demented then one would realise she couldn't help it, but she certainly can help it to a certain extent. Mother is demanding she goes back to her apartment and has a new car. YEH RIGHT! My baby sister who is at the sharp end of all this nonsense has withdrawn her visits to the care home until mother is in a better frame of mind, and starts behaving herself. If this fails I shall write Mother a letter spelling out her options in no uncertain terms, which she certainly won't like at all, but I am not having her playing silly beggars and upsetting my sister and and the residents of the home.
