Hi-I couldn’t find a way to comment on your response to my MIL in SNF (who doesn’t remember I’ve been). Yes, I would feel the same if I had ALS, MS etc. My SIL lost her 50-yr-old sister to MS, it was a lingering horrible way to go. I wish for the ability to manage my own end. Maybe someday soon. 💕
But I don't think I would want to know when my "death date" would be. I figure I can plan what I can, and try to live each day like it might be my last.
I can tell you that I have no plans to ask or expect family to care for me. After taking care of my Husband I would not want to put that burden on family.
And Rrieger1...hopefully when the time comes for me or you to want to make the decision to end our life that choice will be available. ...
