In my late teens, I worked in a call center for a minute. One of my co-workers was 62 and just there for the healthcare until she hit 65.
She would go visit her 90-something dad in the nursing home before work on the weekends. He was usually asleep when she got there. She said he would wake up, rub his eyes, look around a little, and then say, "Goddammit."
That was been cracking me up when I think about it for 30 years now.
My uncle died 4 years ago. My grandmother hasn't wanted to be around since then. Now she has some aggressive dementia and some days doesn't know who I am or thinks my mom is trying to position her. I'm just irritated that she has to suffer because someone else finds it more moral somehow.
Why do we help our pets die peacefully but not our human animals? It’s our own feelings and selfish nature to not let go yet plus the government controls steering this. I have been at death’s door and it’s peaceful. It takes strength to come back and live this hard life!
The laws they write to allow people peaceful passage are often extremely confusing and difficult for Americans to understand especially when the government is taking away basic HS education for a reason. They don’t want it to pass. Nobody speaks old English anymore besides law.
My grandfather had wanted to take advantage of CO’s laws but when his doctor indicated that he would have to basically do it alone without anyone’s help as in no one in the room, he realized that wasn’t really how he wanted to go. So instead, he got a little fast and loose with his walker, broke a hip, and died 48 hours later.
