Hello all,

I posted a few days ago that I thought my mom was nearing the end of her battle and I was correct. She passed away this past Sunday at Mass General Hospital. We made the decision to give her comfort measures only, removed her bipap, and she passed less than 24 hours later. It was so peaceful! I was sitting next to her and didn’t even notice. The nurse actually came in and told us.

I am completely devastated but relieved and at peace that we made the right decision not to prolong her life and she is no longer suffering.

I have appreciated having this forum to read and learn from. I pray for all affected by ALS; patients and caregivers.

I am very sorry. You are correct you did the right thing even though it was hard. It was a gift of love. I am happy she is free. Wishing you strength for these coming days
 
You definitely made the right decision. I’m sorry you had to go through all this. I’m glad she is at peace.
 
I'm very sorry, Alison, but of course you did right by your mom. Wishing you and your family peace and strength on your path.

Best,
Laurie
 
I am so sorry for your loss. Your peace will come with knowing she is no longer suffering and her wishes were honored. Big hugs to you and your family.
 
Please know that giving her a peaceful and fairly swift passing was a huge act of love that took courage. I'm so sorry for your loss.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
