Most states don't offer it. But still, with hospice, we can move towards a more peaceful death with the support they offer in medication. To me, the most important thing is to share your desires with your loved ones, so there is no question. Some people want everything possible done for them, but some don't. I know Mike's quality of life was non-existent at the end. He wanted to be there to be with me, but it wasn't enough. And strong people do somewhat control the timing. As an agnostic, I wonder how he felt to wake up in Heaven, where I believe he is.
So sorry. My state doesn’t allow this so not an option here. I just pray I don’t ever have to face this for myself or loved one. In my case I would have to consider my faith in this decision and as we all know you think you know the path you’d choose but you really don’t know until you’re faced with the decision. Bless you…
God bless you - and we will pray for you on our end! My first wife died of a type of cancer called neurofibrosarcoma back in 1995 - at the ripe old age of 31. Cancer is ugly, as is the long goodbye of its progression - no doubts there. Sorry this happened
Thank you for sharing your story. 31? I can't imagine that loss. We can't stop dying, but we can give people the choice to end suffering. We do better by our beloved house pets.
