Pulling the plug

I used to think that for long-suffering patients with no hope of recovery, it is only logical to pull the plug, to save the long heart-ache.... Used to, when I was answering the question as a 3rd-party person, with the benefit of cold distance and the belief that I will never need to make such a distance.

Being faced with such a decision, however, is something else altogether. Was just informed by Dad that the doctor is recommending that the support systems for Grandma be pulled out, and to let her body recover on its own... or not.

It is my mum, and her siblings, who will need to make the decision. But we will all feel the impact... Keeping Grandma in all our prayers...
