I do not particularly care for the title of death with dignity.
This is the most personal of decisions that will ever be made in one's lifetime. There is no right or wrong and no room for any of us to pass judgement or even offer an opposing opinion....NONE.
There is no nursing home in our future. Nursing care will be in our home done by one or the other of us and if outside assistance is needed then they will be brought in to help. If indeed hospice is needed it will be at home.
We both just feel that our lives and family interactions our entire lives has been "home" (ours or another family member's). At those ending of life days to have family running in and out of hospitals or hospice is just too much stress on everybody. At home it is intended to be as normal as possible.
Of course we have no idea what a worser (Intended mispell) scenario might be and we will deal with it when confronted. Until then we are planning to depart with dignity in our own home!
To each his own. The above is ours!
