RE: Quality of Life or Quantity of Life?

in #life6 years ago

My mom's 89 and post stroke...but even when so unwell, she wanted to live. I don't think it's the fear of death but rather she wants to still with us. With a 1 -yr old and a week old babies in the house, she cant speak nor move, but she smiles and kisses them when she sees them. For me that is quality with what she's able. Her strength is back but very dependent.

Sort:  

The bonding that we have built up keeps it going and gives all the courage I guess.

Most probably..with you saying that, we have had a patient who couldn't wait to die. Like she looked at me for even bothering to help her out. A psyhic colleague mentioned that when she passed over, she left without lookin back.
