My mom finally passed away at 9PM last night....eight days after removing all life support.
It is a shame we can do the right thing for our pets when their time comes but we are forced to watch our loved ones linger on and on. I do take comfort in the fact that mom was heavily medicated and most probably didn't feel or was aware of anything.
Although this was her wish to be allowed to pass if anything ever happened, it was definitely the toughest decision I've ever made. I know deep down inside us my sister and I did right by mom but it sure feels wrong. I will miss her deeply.
