The mother of my best friend (I call her Mom too)has been in the Intensive Care Unit for three weeks. She has many health issues and the doctors say there is nothing further they can do for her. Mom said that she doesn't want to continue to live like this and for her kids to let her go and my friend wants to respect her wishes. However, her younger sister can't or won't and talked their mother into being intubated and then having a tracheotomy and then being transported to a facility basically to be on life support. She will probably continue to be resuscitated until she either passes away or everyone agrees to let her go.
Mom will never be able to come home. She could live on for however long under the circumstances. I feel so bad for Mom because she is suffering. I am not judging the younger sister for not being able to let go of their mother. But I will lift up prayers and ask you all to join me that Mom will not have to suffer long. I also pray that during this time the Lord will show Himself to Mom so she can find peace and learn of the promises of Jesus' return. Very sad situation where grief is put on pause indefinitely.
Thanks
