Your whole comment is kinda coming across as searching for the worst possible interpretations of statements so you can attack the person delivering them and hope it'll rub off on the argument. Maybe don't do that?
One wonders if the son attempted to support his mother in life, rather than tell her goodbye.
Also: when my mother was diagnosed with (terminal) cancer, she tried the treatments at first. Chemo, radiation, everything. Doctors told her at best it might buy her a few more months.
After learning what those treatments would do to her, she made the decision that a few months of that wasn't worth it, and stopped treatment. Do you think it was my job as a son to try to force her to continue, out of "support" for her?
