I feel that we did the right thing
From Inga –
I lost my father 3 weeks ago, 83 yrs old. He had Lewy body dementia and a weak heart. He could not enjoy anything anymore, no tv. or reading, or even keeping up conversation. He was in a hospital, and could not move in his bed. Then he got pneumonia , and the doctors recommended no treatment, only oxygyn and morphine. The Doctor said pneumonia is often a friend of the older people, when sick. I did not want to see my father suffer any more, so me and my sister agreed to this treatment. He died peacefully on the 7th day. He never had any pain I think. That to me, is a natural way of going. I dont believe in keeping a person alive when the quality of live is gone. Let nature take its course. I know in my heart, he is feeling good now where he is. I feel that we did the right thing for him. I do grief very much, and I can understand all of you .
God bless.
