Hope this is the right place to ask, my mum is in the later but NOT end stages of dementia in a nursing home - shes actually quite well really but the home wanted to talk to me about end of life care. Their reasoning it's easier to have the conversation now - which I agree is true so much easier BUT
What do I need to consider I do know mum would not want to be resuscitated, or kept alive artificially - so what else do I need to consider?
Do you mind me asking - I am going to be having this convo int he coming weeks and want to go into it fully prepared xx I sat with mum yesterday int he sunshine thinking - what do you want me to do for you. She was having a reasonably good day then she looked at me and said completely unaware of that's being said and in her failing voice with her jumbled up words she said I'm dying *GULP*
Thank you in advance for any insight - I do realise this is a hard thing to face I hope asking here isn't insensitive it's a huge thing to do for someone I want to get it right xx
