>> "getting old ain't for sissies!"
@Nurse3: I used to think " but it still beats the alternative" . But now I think it depends on how punishing old age becomes. I visit nursing homes and see people who seem to be wishing they could die, it's hurts to see them suffer.
@uneasyrider: To true. I see this everyday that I work. I have no problem with dying, except I still have young children at home. Once they are out and on their own, if it's my time, it's my time. I worry about the suffering though. I see so many families holding on tight to their elderly loved ones that are terminal and in a lot of pain, but the family does not want to let go. It makes me sooo very sad.
