Found this where I'd kept a note. It was Dec 9, '04

My mother is dying. Isn't that a note to celebrate Christmas on? A friend asked me is it better to know that they're dying, or would it be better to have it be a shock and they simply fall over dead?

Let it be a shock! You don't have to hear them sob in pain, be up all night rolling in agony, have them be sick to their stomach because of the pain medications etc !!

Now: The friend who asked me if it is better to know....died before my mother...and I so regret having given him that answer. I believe that he knew he was dying and was asking me if I'd want to know.
