I've posted only a few times on here....
My mom has ALS - the genetic kind (so my fate is also a worry...). But right now, my biggest worry is my mom's emotional state. She attempted suicide in Aug of 2012 when she first started having trouble walking. She attempted suicide again in Feb 2013 and spent a month in the hospital. Tonight she begged me to help her kill herself. I told her I would support her in any way I could but morally and legally I can't help her kill herself.
What do I say? What do I do?
She has a live in aide and lives just two blocks away from me. She still walks a little and has activities and friends and family around her every day. But it's just not enough.
Anyone have experience with this? It's quite a weight to carry.
Thank you!
