Dear Judy,
I have to comment on the drugs/no drugs issue.
I hear these disputes all the time from lay people as well as medical folks. Here’s my take on the matter:
Treat the symptoms that appear – pain, shortness of breath — with the smallest amount of medication that will do the job! No more, no less.
Dying is a process and occurs in its own time. I know of countless cases where patients have been medicated properly, and then hung on and on. Go figure!
Judy, I agree with you. I try to make my peace with everyone while I’m still here. When the time comes for me to die, keep me comfortable. When it is time for me to go, I go. Blessings.
Jeanne
Dear Jeanne,
Thanks so much for your wisdom. As usual, you know best.
Judy
