What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why?

Daily writing prompt

Nope. Not going there. It’s way too soon. I’ll tell you what but I won’t tell you why. That will have to do.

First, we had to put a DNR order into place for my mother. DNR stands for Do Not Resuscitate. If you don’t know what that is then Google it. I don’t have the heart to explain.

Next, when the hospital could do no more to treat her, we had to move her to Hospice. That included instructions to do nothing beyond making her comfortable. That easily topped the DNR as the hardest decision. It was literally decided to make her comfortable in her last days before she died. It took a lot longer than we thought it would, and every day was utter torture right up until the end.

Okay. That’s way more than I was planning to share. That’s enough. I’m sorry.
