Prayers for you during this difficult time! 🙏🙏🙏 

🙏 

So sorry, must be such a shock. This is none of my business, but I'm going to tell you what I've told my children (I'm almost 80 years old). I'm more interested in the quality of my life than the quantity of it. And I would like to die with dignity. So no keeping me on life support, no feeding tubes, no breathing tubes. I hope I haven't spoken out of turn, but perhaps I've given you something to consider. Holding you in my heart. 

What a difficult situation! Wishing peace to you. 

Letting him go is out of compassion, not anger. Perhaps you need to put yourself in his shoes and decide what is best or follow his wishes had then been discussed with family in earlier years. Just make the best informed decision you can and hope that your loved ones will do the same for you should the need arise. My condolences. Keep strong. 

Wow, so sorry about that. Sending strength and prayers, buddy! 

I am a nurse and have seen similar scenarios play out many times. The chances of him ever returning to a functional state are slim. 30 minutes of CPR is a lot.  

I’m so sorry you have to make these decisions under these circumstances. 

So sorry. Prayers for you and yours.  

Sending prayers and hugs 🤗 

I am so sorry to hear about your father's condition and even your relationship with him. I am sure that you are overwhelmed from this unexpected situation and as a healthcare proxy, you have to make a final decision. Sigh.. So hard. I hope what kind of decision you choose, it will be best way for your father, you and your family. You are a nurse, so you know that even a dying person in unconscious condition can hear until last moment. Your father may want to hear you. Sending my prayers and warm hugs.  

Just sending prayers and peace for you at this most difficult time!🙏💜🙏💜 

Sending prayers and peace 💙🙏💙🙏 

I'm sorry. Sending prayers  

So sorry 

I don't know you, but the fact that you are considering all of the events, with caring and heaviness in your words, says something truly breath-taking about your character. You are strong and can show yourself who you are. You can be proud of how you care. 

you're a good person. sorry for your situation. stay strong  

I’m so sorry. Praying you have the courage to make the right call (or talk to anyone else he may have been closest to recently). Keeping you in my thoughts. 

Thanks, guys. After speaking with his brother and sister, it seems like we are on the same page. Sadly, the worst case scenario would be for him to come out with low brain function to where he'd need assistance the rest of his life. His siblings and parents can't care for him and I'm in no position to either. And I'm sure he wouldn't want to live like that.  

I am sorry. Praying for you.
