Dream of death

Yesterday, Mom called and said she had a disturbing dream, of her own death.

What was interesting to me is that the part that was so very upsetting to her is the fact that, in her dream, they were trying to resuscitate her in spite of her having a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order in her purse.  She kept trying to tell them about her DNR and they didn't believe her. And then she was concerned that her pacemaker would keep her 'alive' against her wishes.

She's really ready to die.  She is weaker each day, napping after breakfast, after lunch, and going early to bed.  She's quite coherent, alert, interactive ... just tired of all this.
