Medical help to die is not an open bar

I want to shout that the earth is full of injustices. Nevertheless, I am a gay man from a rural environment. Nevertheless, Difficult ends. Similarly, there were in my 70 years of life, but once my exit of the closet crossed, I never had to complain.

Younger of a family of five. Furthermore, I was spoiled by a mother who quickly felt my difference and provided her support in a minimum of words. Meanwhile, Then I exiled myself in Quebec to finish my studies and live my adult life freely. Nevertheless, Later. one of my sisters went to take care of our mother in her house after the death of our father.

5 years ago, when she herself fell ill, the family decision to put the house on sale was easy to take. Having just retired, I settled in our medical help die not open mother’s bedside until the transaction is done. Then our mother began to die, she who still had all her faculties a few months before.

After entering CHSLD, his big decline began. I visit her every day, but she has not recognized me for two and a half years. As with my four brothers. sisters there is only one, rather badly in point, I am the only one to watch over the one who, returned to 99 years is only the shadow of herself, and no longer has any quality of life.

You will undoubtedly find mean whats I will say. even if I do not believe it, but I do not understand that the system does not allow to help to leave someone like my mother who has taken up the fetal position, who no longer feeds, and who no longer has any autonomy. If I was not at his medical help die not open bedside several hours a day to relieve the poor attendants. I don’t know how they would be enough for the task.

I love her my mother

You don’t need to tell me, I know and even I feel like you love your mother. If there was not in Quebec all this cohort of caregivers who devote itself as you do. the system would be in bad shape.

I understand the disarray that can cause the fact of seeing a loved one in a state of gripping indignity. but which from a moral point of view could not happen otherwise without hitting the conscience of a majority of people. I can only wish you the courage to pass through. and the wisdom to preserve you from the breathing beaches to recharge your batteries.
