I think part of the problem is WHEN?
How long does a person have to suffer before its OK to die?
6 mo.? 6 years? What is the magic number?
After how many treatments does it become acceptable? 5, 10?
I dunno. Cuz it seems to hurt so many. Aperson may think their life is not worth much, but its so shocking and so hurtful to so damn many. Like ripples in a pool of water when you throw a rock in it.
At what point can you say, there is NO hope?
I may feel like I just too tired to fight anymore, but then I get a second wind, and I fight on.
I think if its to the point where even loved ones start saying its too much, then you might start to thinking, mebbe its time.
The other thing is how?
I went thru that.
Not very many good choices....
All messy one way or another....
I think when it is time for me to go, I will go into the wild forest in the back of beyond, and walk, and keep on walking.
Another hiker 'lost' in the woods.
Accidently.
But you will notice I am still here.
I have not given up the fight, even though its so very hard at times.
Sometimes I literally get by, moment to moment.
And the moments add up. And they pass.
And sometimes I have moments of SUCH joy.
I work in a city drop in center 1x/wk, and sometimes, when I exchange a smile with someone, my hearts warms, and glows, and hope returns.....
At least while I alive, I got a chance...
I not hurting people too much, in fact I do some good,
and maybe, just maybe, it'll be OK.
But thats just me.
In no way could I possibly judge anothers pain.
