first you should know im performing cpr is something im very good at and comfortable with... my gramma was dying , it was imminent, and there was nothing mediacally that could be done, she was 90 and having multiple organ failures,
lemme also say i loved this woman, wed gone to luch once a week for 4 years, shared books, and were incredably close,
as she lay dying i held her hand, and told her i loved her, we sat together for a few hours, just holding hands, then she passed...
everyhting in me wanted to start immediate ressucitation procedures, and if it were a patient who wasnt dnr i wouldve, but instead, when her heart rate got real low (in the 40s with decreases in BP, which for my medical peeps is an ominouse sign) i told her i loved her and that ill see her in heaven, that it was going to be ok, and thanked her for the time wed spent together.
so my answer for you, in this situation was that while i wanted to with everything in me, i did nothing, and let my gramma go

Yes, in life we all have times when we have done as much as possible at the time. You can offer peace to someone but if they do not accept your offer then war is the usual result. If you are talking about a person it is the same. Provided you have done the best you can and they can not or will not do what is required of them, then you must let them make their own mistakes and suffer the consequence. I can understand your look at your self if you care about this person and they act in a self-destructive way, but I think you have done all you can, or this question would never been asked. Good luck in future.
