End of Life Scenario
What a touching article. I have to say they didn't look that old at all in their last family picture. Talk about a life well lived.
You say good-bye.
I say Hello, darkness, my old friend.
Update
My friend has an appointment tonight with the Grim Reaper at 7pm PST
Godspeed
I wonder iftheDR would ever adopt an assisted death program?
Some countries have it, Canada being one and we know about Switzerland where you can just buy it
Have to look it up
Here
As of 2022, euthanasia is legal in Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain and all six states of Australia (New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia).

I support compassionate action to end suffering at the end of life. In Canada, assisted dying will be available for the mentally ill and for children, who will be able to give their consent without needing to inform their parents. IMO this is a bridge too far. Very sad to see what Canada is becoming.
I agree with Cavok. A hand full of fentanyl, a fine bottle of whatever you drink and a peaceful walk in the woods.
No messy clean up and no pain.

I hope your friend had a long fulfilling life.
My condolences to you and his family.
Getting old isn't for sissies.
I have my beautiful 14-year old dog, who now has lymphoma and he is quite weak but still manages to eat, drink and go for the twice daily walks (although very very slow)
When he just can't get up anymore I will ask the vet to come out and send him to heaven while I hold him, although that will be a day I will hate. Best dog I ever had.
So it seems logical we should be able to hold a human's hand and be with them when they can not go on, just like our dogs.

He called last week..... to inform me that the 'time has come'.
We had talked about it before... he was/is ready...... a matter of when
His family is there for the weekend..... I hope it works out as planned
It was the Brickenden article that helped him make the initial decision
I'm not doing too well today.....
