think I may have shared this here before....Many years ago my dear Aunt found out she was terminally ill. The drs gave her 6 to 8 months.
She made a decision that I will admire her for as long as I live
She decided that she would go when she was DONE. Not when the medical powers that be decided she was done.
Early in her final months she started hoarding meds, rather than taking them as prescribed she would take them ONLY when the pain was unbearable.
She gave me the extra pain meds to hold until she was ready.........I will take our little secret to the grave.
She passed with dignity, she knew her family and she was still herself, her family can remember her in a better way then perhaps they may have if she had suffered.
That was her wish and I was honored to be able to help her go "the way SHE wanted" I won't say it easy but I was happy for her!
