#EndOfLife
I don't know where to start...
My (d) mother-in-law's brother (96) is pretty much end of life in the USA. He's got money, he's in a (v expensive) place with care, but he wants to die. His body is failing & his son is having to step in to provide basic services - warm breakfast etc
WHY??

The WHY?? being...
Why on earth do we make people suffer like this at the end of their lives?
Why on earth can't we be reasonable, logical & have a law-enshrined system for end of life?
I'm 55 & I'm not looking forward to my EOL - no kids to fight in my corner, so I'll have to fight for myself.

😥😥I've already prepared all the documents for unexpected death (DNR in case of unrecoverable coma/illness), but how on earth do I prepare for an undignified, drawn-out end of life which I'll just want to end? 😥
