Hello.
First, let me tell you the circumstances.
My mother have been diagnosed with ALS for over 5 years.
She has been on the ventilator for over 2 years now and I have been taking care of her for the last 2-3 years as her son. My father passed away 3 years ago from cancer and my younger sister just graduated from college.
We decided to make a plan to withdraw life support on 6/28. I had to set this specific date so that I can invite mom's siblings and friends when we withdraw her from the ventilator. Of course, in order to do this procedure legally, the doctor must withdraw her life support. So I was able to admit her into hospice.
We have been living at our uncle's house since 2 years ago. And I have been able to care for my mother here, and I will be taking care of her here until the time comes.
However, when I discussed withdrawing life support here, my uncle's wife declined. Her reasons are her reasons. Although I do not concur, I have no choice to withdraw her life support elsewhere.
I asked my mom where she wants us to let her go. She wants to be by the sea because she was born in an island. She barely communicates to me by writing letters on her laps as I support her wrist.
I have found a place, kind of lile a nursing home, but it is a private house managed by an ex-hospice nurse. But it is not by the sea. Not even visible. But I did make rservations in case I cannot find another way.
We are in Corpus Christi, TX. City near Gulf of Mexico.
Right now I am trying to find either a remote private rental home or just simply some remote spot outdoors by the sea.
I have talked to both hospice and funeral homes and setup everything.
I just need to find the right place for mom.
