thank you all so much for all your love and support. it has meant a great deal to me. it's hard that she is gone but i am happy i was there and happy that she has found the peae that she was looking for. now the work of healing begins.

last night i found my mother dead in her recliner. she went to bed and she never woke up. i was there for her last breath as she was there for my first breath. she will not suffer anymore which is what she wanted. a peaceful sleep. thank you all for your thoughts and well wishes. you gave me...

that may be the best idea if she goes for it.

today i got a note saying that she was going to her current doctor to tell him she is leaving his practice because he won't give her medicine so she can sleep. she called him cruel and unchirstian. she wants to find a new doctor. i can't think straight anymore.

thanks everyone. she has wanted to die since my father died. so this is a perfect reason to do it. if i am ever diagnosed with this disease i will end my life. i don't disagree with the decision so much that i am not sure of her decision is what she really wants. she has refused psych evals...

thanks dusty, that's what i thought. not that it matters really. she just doesn't understand that this is going to effect my children. they watched their father bleed to death and now this? she is so self centered right now she doesn't care about anyone else. every single day she says something...

today she wrote a note saying that if she dies in july we should still get her social security check in august. she wants me to check that out. i am shocked and numb. part of me doesn't believe she is going to do it. she is wrapped up in this that she doesn't care about how having all the...

she has told me that she would rather die than have a feeding tube. i think she would feel better if she had one put in. if that were to happen i think she would feel worse. she is still much too vain for that. she would be mortified to have something like that. my father died a long slow...

i think one of the reasons i have a problem with her wanting suicide is that she is so ambulatory. she also has no pain. she has trouble swallowing and can't speak. if she were to get a tube put in her stomach she would be able to keep fed and hydrated. she would be more comfortable. at...

she is living with us so we're all in this together. right now she is mad because i didn't tell her that she could take her pills with something other than applesauce. i'm becoming exhausted and i have my last semester of my bachelor degree coming up! i am living a country song! lol i shouldn't...

all of you have really helped me to feel better! thank you! today she told me that tomorrow she is going to her doctor to demand more pills. i told her hewas in the same position i am in. we are both medical professionals and we cannot help her in any way. she was furious and astounded that we...

thanks for the information i may tell her about it. as far as i know she hasn't looked anything up on the internet. i can't be sure of that. i am so thankful for you understanding.

She is alert and oriented and has no other symptoms yet. thank you so much for replying. i'm at my wits end. she can't be committed, she doesn't want to live anymore and i don't blame her. i might want to do the same thing if i were in her shoes. she just doesn't understand that there is...

I am new here. My mother has als. she was diagnosed in jan 2015. She can't swallow much. She can't speak and drools. She is refusing treatment and hoarding xanax. She has asked me to get her more. She wants me to call her doctor. He knows she is suicidal and won't give her anmore. Yesterday...
