The son calling this a "never-ending wake" sounds like torture

My sister worked with coma patients and the families would get so hopeful when their loved one’s hand would twitch or their face would move briefly. It was saddening for her to have to know that the patient wasn’t actually going to get out of the coma. Sometimes it just crushed her inside. She felt for the families but she just wished they’d accept the truth.

My dad was in a coma after he had a heart attack. It happened July 3rd. On July 7th we let him go. He kept moving and stuff because he was having seizures and we kept hoping he would wake up. He made us promise to not leave him on life support. So we let him go. It was the hardest thing. I was 14. I held his hand. We donated his organs. He saved 5 people and improved a lot more from tissue and muscles and so on. It was so so hard.

This must be a difficult situation. As a wife, you must constantly ponder, what if the doctor is wrong, what if my husband did show signs of waking up and I just ignored him and treated him like he was already gone?

This is something couples must talk about. My partner knows my wishes and I know his. It’s important for everyone involved.

I will definitely have a conversation with my future husband and family to what I want if it came down to my death decision. I would never want to be stuck in a coma for over a decade, making my family suffer like this. The mother is the one that should have went to her kids, asking if she can be a part of their lives since she is the one who left their lives, and never getting to know her grandkids, the lives her kids have now. Thanks for uploading.

I remember when a friend of mine who was in a coma for months opened his eyes. We all thought he was gonna wake up and get better and be back to his old self. Fast forward 5 years and he's a vegetable and I doubt that's ever changing. Fate isn't kind.

"at this point we're all making involuntary movements" ...I'm sorry but that cracked me up 😂😂😂

I remember watching a documentary about this coma rehabilitation center in Denmark.
Where they were doing exercises and such, to keep the connection between body and brain active.
And at least 80% woke up, and started walking around (they reminded more of zombies than humans at that point) but they woke up.
We induse coma on patients to heal them, and I truly believe that it's the bodies way of self healing.
Just like when we get sick, we sleep more, as sleeping is resting, and the less energy we use on being active, the more energy the body can use for repair.
The problem comes when the coma lasts too long, so they lose muscle mass and I guess reality.
You also have locked in syndrome, which can easily be misunderstood as a coma.

I worked in a retail store where a man collapsed when his heart stopped. We called a code white on the intercom, and off-duty paramedics were in the store and did CPR. The ambulance was nearby, and they worked for 30 minutes to get him stable enough to travel. This was a Thursday, late Satuday they took him off life support, Monday he went home with no heart damage. He had to have a pacemaker put in. I don't know their criteria to take him off life support.

I knew a young man who had often visited my home with his friends. One day he had a heart attack and despite his mothers CPR he went into what they called a 'no brain activity'. Friends surrounded him to say goodbye as they were going to take him off life support. He awoke and said hello and lived another six months. I wonder how many people are shut down and chopped up who were not in fact 'dead' !

"He's all I have left"

Except her kids and grandchildren.

[miss_anthropy]

My sister's doctor recommended unplugging her. She wound up waking up on her own. It's a difficult situation

[bodhiswayze]

It’s all well and good everyone on here saying “Oh, I wouldn’t want to be like this” or “I’d let my loved one peacefully slip away” but unless you have actually been in this f***ing horrendous situation you have no idea what you would want…..

Accepting the truth is one of the hardest lessons in life, especially after putting all the hopes up and believing in miracles. I always believe that moving on is a brave step that not everyone could make it.

[imadone]

I feel for this lady. It’s hard to let go and when you do, a piece of your heart goes too.

I watched a similar situation with my grandparents, my grandmother never gave up but some of my grandfathers kids did and to their surprise he did come back to us, and he remembered hearing some conversations.

My sister was in a coma. They stopped feeding her and it was horrific. She didn’t die for two weeks. Can you imagine starving for two weeks. Not a couple of days

The wife has been living in anticipatory grief for 14 years. A spouse is the only one that can relate to this.
