There was an element of not wanting to be a burden, as I understand it - she was an ex-nurse and had looked after many elderly people and promised herself she would not get into that state.
Not a decision that I think I would have taken, and hopefully this will not become the norm, as vampire says - but she had the right to make that decision.
In the article I read, she was in no way unhappy or unwell, but just wanted to bypass the next phase of her life. I think that is a shame and partly reflects a lack of positive attitudes to and respect for the elderly in our society.
Bereavement wipes out everything
Bonnie Blue the MSM should stop all reporting.
