my mother is dying, hospice is keeping her comfortable with morphine, they want to take her off her heart medications she is taking for congestive heart failure but her doctor says that will cause heart failure...she has been lingering for weeks, if she is taken off her meds and her heart finally gives up, will she be in pain?
Respected sir, I do understand the turmoil of the family and you particularly to see your mother like that, sir if you wean of the heart meds, she will sink in her own fluids - a phrase I type with difficultly, with morphine she wouldn't be in much pain, but seeing her gasp would be difficult for the family.  However, if as you describe its refractory heart failure and no scope for transplant, this situation is going to come today or some weeks later.  May God give the family strength for the same.  Regards
