[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This may sound kind of horrible, but my dad says he is relieved that both of his parents died in quick succession when we kids were toddlers. [/quote] Everyone wishes they will live to 100, but if they have to die, I think everyone wishes for a quick death. Most people have DNRs in place, but I think all the pharmaceuticals also have a role. Even high blood pressure meds. When someone is very ill, advanced dementia, plus numerous other issues, why are they on meds? Is a stroke worse than dying from other ways? My grandparents lived until their late 90s and it was not a good quality of life. The most heartbreaking was my relative who was blind, deaf, dementia, GERD, unable to walk, and had a lot of intestinal pain. [/quote]
