Moz, my grandmother passed away in a palliative care hospital wing, one of the very best there is, there was soft music playing, she was surrounded by her children and grandchildren, who all under the advice of her palliative care team advised to stop fluids and increase morphine, to make her comfortable. We were advised that this would likely result in death, (mum and I knew this already,  being in the profession at the time)...mum more so as she is still in the profession, if indirectly, and this is a very regular and normal procedure, and yes, nan did ask us not to keep her alive if she was either unable to make the decision herself or was suffering, this and requested that she be let go so as to maintain as much dignity as possible.

We honoured her wishes respectfully, right down to the last second of her life.

We have no regrets, we know we made the right decision.

And no amount of narcissistic trolls will ever convince me otherwise.

Mellie .. you do realise you just posted as yourself about yourself under the Meshnet id.

Umm unfortunately .. you've been posting under the Meshnet id ABOUT Mellie all afternoon and early evening.

Time to let this go. It's stupid now .. it's gone beyond stupid actually.

And it's sad.

Kind regards

Lisa

Thankyou mellie, mind you, it would have been a lot quieter around here if you had worded it that way from the start, lol.

Mind you, I inferred that to be the case from your original post, and I guess I just give some people too much credit in believing that only a total cretin would not have.

Mind you there are people who are more than happy to just jump in and stir the pot, like aussie, he only turns up if he thinks there is  chance for him to throw a few kicks in my direction, and is still moaning about the fact that I was asked to help out with modding.
Admittedly it was only a year or two ago, so I guess it is still too fresh for him to get over.

Mind you everyone hates the mod unless they believe they are on their side, and some people are bloody slow to work out I only have one side, and that is what I believe to be fair, and if the roles had been reversed, and mantra had been misinterpreted, and vilified, I would have condemned that in exactly the same way.

I am not pro legalised euthanasia, not because I do not believe people do not have the right to die with dignity, but because I foresee too much potential for questionable choices to be made, and I have witnessed the compassionate way that palliative staff care for their patients, and think they already do a fantastic job.

mellie, who is meshnet? your very close friend I presume.

And re- my other handle, oh wow, big discovery there Lisa ...

- Mellie finally fessing she was Meshnet .. sighs

Gawd woman ... all afternoon and evening pretending to be someone else and talking about yourself???

For goodness sake ...all for what??

What about looking after and feeding your family?

Kind (and frustrated) regards

Lisa

Thank heavens .. she's finally remembered she has kids .. sighs!

This whole topic is so sad and out of line.

And for you ex Yahooligans .. how many times have we seen this Mellie driven BS on Yahoo??

I know it got tiresome after 5 yrs.

In all honestly I feel for both Mellie and her kids.

My last comment on here .. Mellie can be so lovely (when she takes her medication) and  I'm glad and relieved to see she feels a tad better now.

Kind regards to you all.
