It's so sad losing a loved one and more so when they still had a lot of living to do! It must have been a difficult decision for you and your Mom.
It's the same with the importance of having a living will if one doesn't want to be kept on life support when there's no hope if recovery. One of my best friends always spoke about it to her husband but they never put their wishes on paper. She was on and off life support for 6 weeks. The doctors told them she would never again have a good quality of life, so they had to sign papers that they should not resuscitate her and turn off the machines.
He said it was not easy even though they had discussed it in the past.
It sounds morbid, but it's a reality.
We need to be aware of putting wishes like that on paper with witnesses signing as well.
Organ donation to me is the most logical thing to do once we're no longer there.
I wish I had been aware of that when my brother also died at a young age!
@obiwanpicone tells us here of how his little girl had a heart transplant at the age of only 4!
Wonderful that she was given a second chance.
