That was so sad. She was only 60 and she could still walk.
Why did she want to die????? Shouldn't this be in the MS section, rather than the fun section?

My heart goes out to her family but it sounded like she was at peace with whatever the flood brought.
Personally I pray something other than MS takes me even if it happens sooner rather than later.

She did not die from MS. Like others without MS, she died in the terrifying Colorado floods. Carpe Diem!! There are sharks in the water, we go swimming anyway. Lightening sometimes kills people, we play in the rain anyway. I like her house, wouldn't you want to stay there too?

I guess I just didn't get over the fact that she didn't want to fight
to live. I wasn't in her shoes, however!!!

In many cases I admire those who accept death with dignity and grace more than those who attempt to fight to the bitter end.

I agree to disagree.

In the case of chronic, progressive disability and terminal illness, I think that how one's life comes to an end should be one's choice.
Suicide is not illegal here, but since assisted suicide is, that debate continues to go on in Canada's courts. There are strong and compelling arguments on both sides. With love, Erika |

Wisest Elder Ever

Sometimes being saved is a welcome thing to both the patient and their family but often the "hero" is the only one who is satisfied with the outcome. I remember a news story about a man who risked his life to save a woman from a burning house. He got a lot of credit and kudos for his act.....but the mother, who lost all of her children in the fire, said "I wish he had just let me die". I will always remember that interview. While the "hero" was basking in his glory the mother was living her worst nightmare.

Before I read the end of this thread, DH came home with a story about a co-worker's 91 year old mother. She was dying, had a stroke, they "saved" her and now want her to do rehab. The co-worker wants them to leave her alone.
Dignity and living/dying quietly not an option.
