Sir, I completely understand. We too stood by and waited for the inevitable. In no uncertain terms is sucks. I distinctly remember the call from my wife stating the ambulance was not to be dispatched. She was at home and asked what she should do. I advised to get over there as the determination by the hospital was made for us. In hindsight that call was for the best. Sound kind of callus. However, there as no life for her mother. Blind, morphine and chemo taking it's toll. To add, her grandmother suffered a major stroke. She was allowed to sleep into that good night. It's tough and plenty of questions that will go unanswered.
