This will be one of the hardest decisions of my life. I have a doctorβs appointment shortly, to decide on my grandmotherβs behalf what she still wants and what she doesnβt. Unfortunately, she can no longer decide this for herself. Since I come from a nursing background, I know whatβs possible and what isnβt, and that at 93 one should be allowed to go with dignity, without anyone artificially keeping her alive β even though thatβs of course extremely difficult for us as family. I spent the last few days out in nature to sit with this question, and Iβve decided that no life-prolonging measures will be taken. She should just be free of pain.
