Sandy, losing a parent is so hard; it often brings out the worst in people in ways we'd never imagine. I hope your sister rethinks her actions and decides to act better.

In my opinion, signing someone off of life support is one of the hardest, yet kindest things we can do when there's only suffering left. It's easier to hang on for our sake than to release someone for their own sake... it is truly a last act of love. What your Mom had is a horrible thing to battle. Many lose that fight and I believe you did the kindest and most loving thing you could have done in that situation.

I sincerely hope that my family would be that considerate if I ever end up in that position.

HUGS
