Re: Re: The Long Job

Thank you for sharing that Dan. I really appreciated reading a parent's perspective and to know what it gives to them. My nan died in 2004, she had a heart attack. She had been unwell for years having had multiple strokes and she was no longer the same person. She was resuscitated once, and then she hung on for hours after that until all her children had arrived, and when her family were around her bed she drifted away. Despite what I said earlier, I really appreciate that extra time we had, I know all our family do, and that wouldn't have happened had she not been resuscitated. However, to me it highlights just how difficult a decision it is to make and how it varies considerably in each situation.
