You are in a situation that we have all gone through...or will be going thru. Nothing easy about it, but your mom seems like a person who is clear eyed about her situation...I would tell my kids pretty much the same as your mom has...don't extend my life if there is no quality of life to be had. Still, your mom could rally and I'd probably do exactly what you are doing in the same situation. Very best for you and your sister during this difficult time.
