Seriously people: unnecessarily prolonging life for life's sake (at the very end) is costly, painful, wasteful. Life is not "sacrosanct" contrary to what the peddlers of religious superstition are trying to convey. Life is being snuffed out by the 'Forces of Nature& Universe" by thousands every second: young, able, newborn, pregnant mothers, worthy citizens....Why ruin you children's life by clinging to & whining for another day of misery? Go, meet your Maker & give him one on the chin (if He/She/It has one!

one of the children not all and that one gets worn out and using a hospital as a way to get a break might help prevent the parent from losing the one caregiver he/she has. In Gesenius' Hebrew Lexicon and Jewish tradition, the oldest son is the husband of the blood to the mother. Yahshua the Jewish Messiah illustrated that when he was dying and asked a friend to care for his mother, knowing his own half brothers were not up to doing that or willing to be a husband of the blood to the mother or they were too busy or were uncaring. Right up to his death, Yahshua the Messiah was concerned for the well being of his mother. He never owned a home in his lifetime which indicates he was a frequent visitor and husband of the blood to his mother at her home when not staying at other homes that were worthy during his ministry. That is an example to us all, a noble example. Most children shun the husband of the blood to the elderly mother (or father) which reflects a satanic mindset, contrary to Scriptures which promises long life to those who honor (means to visit and care for if necessary) the parents. I have two brothers and two sisters and none of them were husband of the blood or caregiver to our elderly mother. At great expense, my husband and I moved to Arizona to care for my elderly mother who did not want to move. That meant I lost a salary at a job and my husband lost a third of his salary since wages in Arizona are lower than in California. We went into debt and none of the brothers or sisters helped or paid us and they even robbed us when our mother died, thinking we were fools to be so self sacrificing and deserved to be cheated. My husband was the husband of the blood to his mother in law when her own sons refused to be what haShem required of them. Both of my brothers were retired and could have moved to Arizona (one moved there after our mother died). My mother was not a pleasant person and I endured her viciousness, unlike people who hospitalize their elderly parents for a holiday. There was one time when my mother had the flu that I took her to an E.R. and she was put into a nursing home for a week. It was a great mistake. Not only in hospitals are there dangers of bacteria and viruses, but demons abound and my mother came home demon possessed. Imagine how difficult that was to cope with. She was outraged at being in a nursing home for a week and changed her will and charged my husband and me for caring for her for 5+ years which the uncaring brothers and sisters thought was logical when it reflected brain damage from a high temperature and demons at the nursing home. Life is a roller coaster at times but buckle in and hold on. Those who are faithful to the tasks at hand and who are chosen by haShem and His Messiah Son, enter eternal life and it is well worth all the difficulties and sorrows. My husband and I are going to haShem's eternal kingdom when we die. But the brothers and sisters who abandoned their mother and did not help us or compensate us and even robbed us after her death, are going to hell. They belong to haSatan. My husband and I belong to haShem. There are two choices in life. To do good or to do evil. To have haShem for a Father or haSatan for a father. We chose haShem. As General Joshua said long ago, "You must choose for yourself, but as for me and my house we will serve haShem."

in these spoiled bratty children that only want a care-free holiday. What happened to the family gathering for holidays? Isn't that what holidays are all about ? Shame on these children.

Don't you remember when you as a parent or your parents (depending on who's reading it) wanted to get ride of you during holidays? And begged aunts, uncles even dog walkers to watch you so your parents werent stock with you? Or when your mom or dad were dating someone new and wanted time for themselves or a weekend getaway and again the cousin of your uncle was forced to watch you who've you've never met or heard of until then? I have a friend now who is paying 1000 a month to add a 6th day to her daughters school because she doesn't want to deal with her. So well karma I guess.

This is absolutely disgraceful and disgusting! Wait, their time is coming! Makes me so sad for these parents who have cared for their children their whole lives! I wish my parents were alive so I could spend more time with them and tell them how much I love them! Actually my sister has had a grudge against me for about 25 years because she was the one who lived nearby and took care of them! I didn't move to another city to get out of my duty, just circumstances. I must say, though, she never dumped either one at a hospital! Just pathetic.
