My wife and I are both over 71. If either of us gets cancer, we’ll go holistic. The only thing we’d go to a hospital for is morphine for the last days if it comes to that.

Nobody lives forever. We’ve lived very productive lives and, frankly, I’m personally having the best days of my life. But I’ll meet the Lord at a day of his choosing. And I’ve always seen 70 as the “official” finish line. Even moreso than the rest of my life, I’m living on borrowed time and making the most of it.

fyi, You can do that at home.

I have a brother that had home hospice. It is an end of life decision. No resuscitation. They provide the drugs every week.

you dont go to the hospital for morphine to ease last days.

Hospice comes to you home to oversee your care.
