Things could be worse

It might help her knowing that we all suffer in one way or another.

Wife and I just signed "remove the feeding tube" clauses on our Last Will and Testament. We didn't want a Terry Shaivo situation occur to our families.

This is not a DNR or even a remove from life support clause. If it is determined we will be in a vegetative state, pull it out.

In all honesty, I was against it at first, but the wife talked me into it. Take care of your family and these kinds of decisions with your lawyer so your family doesn't have to be put in the situation of having to make these decisions.

Sorry for your friend, jsc.
QUICK ANSWER:
Drink way too much beer and ice cold tequila, float to the middle of a lake on one those air mattress' while smoking a HUGE doobie, and let my friends shoot flaming arrows at me.

REAL ANSWER:
I dunno...probably overmedicate.

Again sorry, I watched both my parents agonize through the fight with cancer.

Maybe run her over with your car?

She must be kept alive until the bitter, painful end, because a bunch of conservative Republican, Bible-thumping pantloads have decided it's for the best.

If she was the family German Shepherd should could be put to sleep.

Hook her up to a Buttspley CD and play "The Ballad of Index" 50 times.

I think that is what EM was trying to say, only in reverse.

They are wrong.

She hurts, and nothing we’ve given her stops the pain. I cannot fully describe the frustration in this situation. She deserves better than this.

Then find something that does fucking stop the pain. Addiction is not a concern and neither is an overdose, if you think about it. If her condition is as bad as you describe, it won't be long until any dosage of pain meds will be enough to end life. Do what you have to to keep her as comfortable as possible and let nature take it's course.

And my question for you is if you would do such a thing, then how would you do it?

Have a nice day.

Right now, I'm watching my mom die a slow death from alzheimers. She can barely walk, won't eat or drink, doesn't know if it's day or night, or winter or summer.

I wouldn't want to die that way. At least I don't think I would.

The hidden blessing is that she no longer realizes that she gave birth to you.

Pain relief comes in many forms.

Take her to the Indy 500 and hope for a crash and well-aimed tire into the stands.

^^^^^ Brutal, but funny as hell!

I heard the best way is sharp blunt force blow to the head.

Wait....that was to euthanize an anole. Nevermind.

Tell her to start smoking pot and stay loaded till the last day. Get high with her occasionally.
