My mum had a horrible mix of conditions, needing more and more pain relief.
Fortunately, I had Power of Attorney.
The GP rang me up to say she was concerned for mum, and I told her that pain relief MUST be her top priority, regardless of the consequences.
Mum had already told me that when she woke up, she just regretted it, so I knew she'd had enough. he GP ga extra pain relief, and mum passed away gently in her sleep. I have told my eldest son in no uncertain terms that when my time comes he must do the same for me.
Quality of life is so important, especially at the end of life when there is no hope of a reasonable existence left.
