The end was one of the toughest things I've ever witnessed. After a few days in the hospital for relatively minor stuff she suffered a massive stroke. Basically the left side of her brain was done as well as the right side oif her body. Docs say that was it. No hope of 'recovery'

Both mom and dad have a living will stating clearly that if anything like this were to have happen they wish NOT to sustain life. So with thatthey removed all support, made her comforatble and then waited for her to expire. In simple word all nourishment was removed. It took 8 days.

I swear to God that sometimes she responded and understood what we where saying. For me it was more painful because the actual process didn't just end it took 8 days. My dad couldn't bear to be there so in the last few days it was just the kids.
