[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1450272, member: 16303"] I guess I was lucky. My Mom had both my sister and myself assigned with the Power of Attorney. As for her medical part she had a directive of "Do not resuscitate", which was if she was not going to have any quality of life and more or less be a vegetable to let her go. Even though my sister and i didn't always see eye to eye on lots of things, when it came to Mom's health we usually both agreed. However, Mom sometimes had different thoughts to ours which made some thing different to figure out how to deal with it, but we made it thru. She passed peacefully and we did our best to make her last few months as comfortable and happy as was possible. My sister works in a Nursing Home so for many things it was easier for her to deal with some things that it would have been for me. Sometimes family members can have different thoughts about the care. As much as we want them to and try, we can keep them forever. But individuals and family members involved must work together and have the best interest of the individual at heart difficult as it sometimes may be. [/QUOTE]
