Assisted Suicide

[Cavebear]

Dad decided to take his suicide drugs yesterday and died around noon.  He was back and forth on taking them, but I think it was getting too hard for him to ride out the bad days.  He also thought he was being a burden, and that weighed into his decision, even though we did everything to convince him otherwise.  That part bothers me.  Anyway, he went peacefully.

My sympathies.  But I don't think it is wrong to decide when you aren't getting value out of life anymore.  I don't encourage suicide, but I will not shame anyone for it either.  That doesn't mean you don't feel the loss.  But it was his decision.
