I'd say it's time when you really can't cope any more. When the day is long and the night is longer because of the concerns and worries. When Visiting Angels isn't enough; when just friends doesn't cut it. It's not giving up. It's moving on to the next stage of life. Not always a pleasant choice.

I'm sorry you're having to contemplate this.
