If my dog had dementia instead of epilepsy I would be encouraged to put her down. |

Oh Uzzi, is life so bad for your mother already? |

It's a difficult one with dementia, because the person suffering may be actually not aware or 'unhappy'. Not always the case I know. |

Because human life is more complex than the lives of our animals. We have all the legalities to consider. |

There is nothing wrong with growing old. There is a time to live & a time to die. In days gone by, doctors accepted that most people died of old age & patients must have dignity until the end. |

Ginnie Mum´s life isn´t that bad she just is not happy and even when I get her with me she isn´t going to be happy. sadly she is now confined to a wheelchair and incontinent. Even when she has a good day I get nothing but complaints and tears. |

when my Mum was near the end, no quality of life, uncommunicative, groaning in pain, incontinent, unaware of who we were or who she was, I used to sit with her and think - if I popped a pillow over her face it would all be over and she will be at peace, but I just couldn't do it - after she died I discovered that my son and my sister also had been having the same thoughts |

Uzzi, you have had so much to deal with of late, no wonder you are feeling the way you do. I am glad your o.h. looks after you and can just hope things work out ok on other fronts. Once you have finished sorting the house out, it will be another thing to strike off the list, just take one day at a time and try and have some time for yourself if you can. |
