View submission: I don't care about old people dying
I disagree and it isn't necessarily about assisted suicide. When my late fiancée was fighting cancer in his late 20's the neighbor next door was doing the same in her 90's. Her kids took away her cigarettes. It wasn't going to help her survive. She was fine with it. She just wanted to finish off her life but they wanted to squeak out of her a few extra months, weeks, days by making her miserable so they were really making good memories with her at the end. So we would sneak her over cigarettes and ice cream or what not whalen she asked. Easy to do because they said they were concerned and wanted her around but rarely ever showed up to spend time with her.
My grandmother on the other hand had the most beautiful death. If I had to pick a way to go it would be how she died. The difference was when the doctors gave her her diagnosis and she said she was old enough and was ready to go. So that's what my family did. They let her go on her terms. They spent a lot of time around her and we have some great stories about that time but no one insisted she had to get the treatments or what she could or could not do at that time. We spent time with her in the way she wanted.
There's nothing here!
