My opinion, and what I would hope my children would do, if of sound mind, to allow your Mom to live out her final days the way she wishes. Sometimes we try to have a loved one do what we feel they should be doing or what we think we would want to do. Have you spoken with your Mom to see if she would like to attend bingo or would prefer staying in her comfortable chair, in her room, where she has found her comfort zone? Does she go out for meals? If unable, is the facility monitoring that her meals are being brought to her?

I feel for you and your siblings. Enjoy the time with your Mom.

I think prolonging life is definitely not what zonerboy's mom wants. I think he is pondering the dilemma of a loved one's wish to die.
