thanks Biz, that's always a good idea. And tell your doctor. If you are lucky enough to live a long healthy life as I have so far you see it all eventually. Lost a wonderful father to altz and was so glad when he died as we did not know who that person was. Lost our only brother to cancer when he was only 63 and now we are beginning g to lose close friends. Such is the stuff of life I guess.

We struggle in this life with the hope and prayer that the "next place" will be serene. (love that book).

Hugs for the room

Thank you all for your responses. Bizi- I found the paperwork online for refusal of the feeding tube and my brother has a lawyer that is doing a will and wishes of my father and mother.
I am feeling less suicidal I am happy to report but will watch myself and be kind to myself. Thank you Mark that advise was right on. I have been on the edge of the cliff looking over.
Alfie if not for your links, I don't know if I would of made it through that day. Thank you so much.
I so appreciate all your compassionate responses and care for me. I will stay in touch. It is good to have support.
