My mom is still on the ventilator, but it’s the only thing keeping her going. My brothers and I have made the decision to take her off the ventilator and see what happens. The years of smoking, her COPD, and her age make this a very hard fight for her. Of course I want her to live as long as possible, but she’s also been through so much pain and anguish in her life.
I don’t know what my future will look like now, but I will take it one day at a time. I probably won’t be around for a bit though, I need time to grieve and heal. My mom like,y won’t recover from what I hear, but I’m still holding hope she’ll be okay.
I love you all. And please for me, be kind to each other.

I went through something similar in March when my mom was taken into hospital. She'd been declining for a while, so we expected it in my case, and she went downhill very fast overnight. We got the call the next morning to come in fast if we wanted to see her before she went. To hear that and see that is hard.
I'm sorry that you're going through this right now. I hope for the best for you and your family. May life be kind.
I thank you for the kind words and well wishes. I'm going to try my best to be okay.
I suggest, if you don't mind me saying, finding as many people as you feel comfortable with and let them know, and let them offer what comfort they can. You don't have to socialize, but don't shut people out, either. Let the comfort in if you can.
And don't blame yourself if your reactions to things are stronger or weaker going forward. Shock, fear, anger, and so much more play into this, and people never, ever react the way that they think they will.
If she lives through this, and she somehow recovers, wonderful. If not, my best wishes and sympathies go with you, and for her.
