Your post was really appreciated.
It’s hard.
Parkinson’s is very different than Alzheimer’s or other age related dementias.
I think that each individual end of life is different and you used yours to advocate for a euthanasia solution (euthanasia is the proper term for it and ought not have negative connotations if you have no problems with it).
I think you crossed a line in your post in to advocacy, beyond just sharing experiences.
I don’t think anyone should do that, and perhaps you didn’t mean to advocate euthanasia as first or only moral choice, but what you wrote sure did seem demeaning and insulting to those who choose to treat loved ones and spend as much time with them as possible.
It’s not torture.
Please, read this carefully!
I was NOT, and do NOT, advocate euthanasia. Alleviating the pain of a person who is in the process of dying is NOT euthanasia.
I deeply resent those who refuse to understand the difference between hastening death, and relieving the someone’s pain, when nothing can be done to prevent the death process.
Take this opportunity to understand the difference.
For your information, my husband had the best of care, including a several week long stay at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, to try to find a way to prolong his life.
As that song from the 80s goes, “There comes a time”.
I truly hope you will never suffer from a similar incurable illness.
