My heart just aches for the poor woman who had to inject her husband.. I can't even begin to imagine having to do this with my partner.
For every person talking about it openly now, I'm sure there are literally hundreds more dealing with this in secret, and that's a terrible shame. I really hope euthanasia laws progress globally to allow these poor people some peace.
- PantaloonFlames 10y agoFunny, i thought the exact opposite. "How lucky!" She was so fortunate to be there at the end and have the ability to take action. Watching a loved one die, slowly, while you stand by helplessly observing their pain... that is much worse.
- scott_s 10y agoShe obviously did not feel this way. She had no support from the medical establishment she was surrounded by. I imagine it was isolating, and made a painful moment worse.
- Daneel_ 10y agoLucky in the sense that she could help her husband, but unlucky in that she had no support, mentally or medically, for her actions. I can't imagine how lonely she must have felt in a time when she so desperately needed others around her.
- fixermark 10y agoI think there are quite a few people who enter into lifelong marriage commitments without realizing that when you say "sickness and health..." Yes, that's what you're signing up for. There may come a time when you're the only person your partner trusts to make those calls.
