Everybody out there needs to have someone in their corner advocating for them in times of need. What a selfless gesture. That decision was very humane. The poor woman has lived a long life and this must have taken too much out of her. Hope she gets the care every person should be having. She is lucky to have you help her. You have done the right thing with such a terrible burden to be placed on yoru shoulders.
