Jan and Els were married for almost five decades. In early June, they died together after being given lethal medication by two doctors. In the Netherlands, this is known as duo-euthanasia. It’s legal, and it’s rare - but every year, more Dutch couples choose to end their lives this way.
Some people might find this article upsetting ... .

My wife and I will be celebrating our 50th on 24Aug2024. I tell people that I can remember our life50 years ago like it was yesterday. So I have a hard time quantifying the ensuing 50 years. It has been a great time with NO REGRETS. We have 3 daughters and 10 grandchildren who are the spices our life. God willing we will celebrate our 100th on 24Aug 2074. I am hoping that Biden doesn’t confiscate our nest egg.

Your parents and grandparents were fortunate to have such a long married life.
May they rest in peace.

I have no immediate family and pray every day that I never become a burden on anyone.
Still don't think I could take my own life.
Still believe that would lead to eternal damnation.
To: maddog55
I get the burden aspect. I told the wife if I don’t recognize her some day, point me in a direction in the woods and tell me to walk.I told the wife if I don’t recognize her some day, do anything, but please, please PLEASE don't put me into a presidential debate against Donald Trump , where I would end up humiliating myself and anyone who ever knew me.

No we don’t. And that makes Satan’s job that much easier.

My parents were together 55 years. Mom died and Dad followed just 6 months later. Mine were much the same. Mom died a few months after Dad after 58 years married. The hospice nurse was trained to ask probing questions to see if the patient is afraid of dying.
“Do you believe you will see your husband again?” she asked.
“Depends it it's a nice day,” my mom replied.
“Why is that?” the nurse asked.
“If it's a nice day, he'll be playing golf.”

Els is the woman. Jan is the man.
Jan, pronounced “Yahn” in Dutch, is the Dutch name for John.
It’s the inspiration for the word “Yankees.” New York was settled in the 1600s by the Dutch, many of whom did dairy farming and made cheese. The English settlers used the name “John Cheese” for the Dutch everyman (ike John Doe), which was pronounced “yahn kees” in Dutch.

Had one child. Didn't want to "burden" him. Maybe they'd be better with more children to spread the "burden" around a little bit.
But thanks for the help!

And the phrase is “bald-faced lie,” Mr. Government Schlub.

They both represent you. I’m sad that you are so dumb and can’t read a very legible post. Where you get I support this is a mystery. I pointed out that you didn’t read the article. You do know you can do more than read the titles. I’m guessing you have at least a fourth grade education.
