They made the decision based on not spending their inheritance money for a nursing home. I am really having a hard time with this. One of the sisters has a high leadership position in our church and I am wondering if I should tell my pastor about this. I have also had to deal with the death of a close family member who could not be saved and I agreed to remove the life support. I did not mean to stir up any sad emotions.
Life can be absolutely unbearable at times.
RNS, I think this is a totally different situation from RitaH's situation. It wouldn't hurt to speak to your minister in confidence. Unlike some others who glibly answer your question, I am neither omniscient nor omnipresent. I wish I had not opened this topic now. We had to make the most difficult decision we ever made, last Mar.
