My mother had emergency surgery last night. She is still in the hospital, but she is doing just fine. The doctor asked my sister about what Mom wanted to be done in terms of resuscitation if something did not go so well. We went through this a few months back with Lorena’s father and it changed my perspective. The fact that natural death is a process was something that became very clear as we went through that. It seems like interrupting that process can be the source of a lot of pain and suffering as well as a precipitous reduction in the quality of life for both the person going through at the loved ones looking on.
