Desperately sad story of the assisted suicide of a grieving mother

You have indeed touched on the most poignant possibilities of assisted dying

And I agree with you who are we to judge - I couldn't: when the person has "full capabilities and so on

Details here of how she passed (the criteria)

Ultimately we cant stop someone determined to take their own life, its so tragic ..but would we rather she had the terror alone of choosing some awful way?

If the poor mother was in any way religious, as I understand it, she would believe she would be reunited with her son on her death.
A powerful incentive.

I told the story on here last year of meeting a woman who was desperately sad about the death of her 40something son.
She got so emotional she couldn’t carry on speaking.
I asked her friend how long it had been since her Son died and she said 18 years.
For some people it never goes away.
I find it very sad and believe the sons in both these cases would not want their mothers to give up their life to grieving.

It makes for very sad reading ....you can't imagine feeling that the 'better' option is death....but we don't walk in her shoes
