Not sure I would agree that she "lost her battle" She lived to 83. I think she gave polio quite a run for it.

I hope I am misunderstanding. Are you suggesting that it would have been better not to keep her alive?

I think she means JUST keeping her alive with no thought of quality of life.

Goodmorning Bornbad.

Also, I hate how they always call it a battle when someone is dying a slow death. Stop fighting and make the best of it. That's probably what this lady did too.
