There is an elderly couple across the street from us.

I heard sirens Monday and looked out the bedroom window upstairs.

There was a fire truck and Ambulance.

I watched as they took the wife away. She died.

Emotional event for me.

She was on an elevated gurney with a mask. Very peaceful looking but lifeless.

I was struck by how respectful the responders were.

There was no racing off to the ER though, so it was clear what was happening.

At 54, I’d never seen that.

First responders are the best. How do you clear your head of emotion and save what you can in some of the most heartbreaking situations.

God bless them.

My husband and I are the only elderly couple on our street, My husband turned 82 in April, and I turned 79 in August. He watches TV all day and keeps it on at night. (that is why he is sleeping in the living room because I can not sleep with the TV on.

I do fall asleep, but I do wake up, and don't need that. He does go outside to check the mail, (he loves junk mail)

I do not go outside either because I have a degenerative disc disease and hip joint disease and it's hard for me to walk, even with a cane

I can understand the despair, but not wanting to take your life.

I’ve lost 2 sons, 1 at 33 days old died of Cytomegalic Inclusion Disease his dad brought back from Nam, flu like in adults. 2nd son was VICIOUSLY MURDERED BY A SOCIOPATH FOR HIS JOLLIES. Plea Bargained a M-1 to a M-2, served 8.5 yrs out of 20 yrs, 6 parole hearings. First 10 months after the Plea Deal. Grief doesn’t stop. I’m 72 now, many health issues. I want everyday God gives me.

I now CCW. You can’t cure a Sociopath.
