CPR is great if your general health gives you a chance. But I would hope my family could say goodbye to me, if I was dying, soon enough to spare me that experience. I am tattooing DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) on my sternum when I turn 65 or so. If you get to me before that, then, yes I will forgive. Not your fault after all. I have reason to regret some ribs I have cracked And to admire the family for stopping the efforts when they realized what they were putting their mother through.
