1. A very touching read

A few tears rolled down my cheek at the end of the article. Thanks for posting this.

2. This was beautiful. By the end, I was fighting back tears (a few escaped). This was the epitome

of death with dignity.

Groups of 3 is better than 2.

There may be last minute requests. Especially about pets and young children.

Don’t nudge the doctor.

Sitting may help with dignity. Vaseline lotion.

Some medicines may be unfamiliar. Learn in advance.

Don’t be a jerk.

7. Just finished reading this - saved it earlier but couldn't find the thread

Happy for her but it was painful as well because my favourite cousin’s Canadian wife also chose this path a few years ago. He had predeceased her but it was hard for her sons as much as they supported her wishes.

Thanks -

8. Tina Turner had joined such an organization for that back in 2017 or somewhere around that time.

That was my first thought when she died.

Switzerland was always way ahead of the curve on this.
