[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 534498, member: 2315"] TM, I am sorry that this is such a hard time in your life. I think that we can never know when someones time will come. We can guess, but we can't know for certain. So, for that reason I feel it is not necessary for everyone to put their lives on hold. We got so many "it's time" phone calls when my dad was dying. I was run ragged driving back and forth (3 hours one way). I'd get home only to be called back the next day. This went on for weeks and eventually he died alone anyway. I had just left after staying at his side for several days. My brother took over and sat with mom. Dad's organs were shutting down one by one and he was in a coma. after days of this, my father's heart got tired and kept stopping and then starting up again. The alarm was shut off because it was too hard on my mother. Then mom had a heart episode herself while sitting vigil next to dad's bed and ended up in the ER. When her crisis was over they told my brother to take her home because the stress was too much for her. She went back upstairs to say good nignt to my dad and left. Dad died that night. It was almost like he was waiting for her to leave to spare her that terribly sad moment. He was very protective of her. So in my opinin there is no one way to dealwith these kinds of situations.
