I have two grandparents, one aged 78 and one aged 82. Both live on their own and are independent enough to visit us regularly. They can look after themselves and pursue their interests. Why would you want to die between the ages of 65 and 70 when you potentially have another decade of life to look forward to?
I'm glad you have grandparents who were lucky enough to keep their faculties. My family's not so lucky.
My mother is burdened with a husband who hurls suspicions at family members who love him dearly, obsesses on insignificant details, and can barely control his bowels. He's alienated his own sister...who loves him dearly.
He was a college professor. Brilliant and well educated. Dignified and prestigious. Hard-working humanitarian. He was a good father and dignitary. Now he's a burden...no matter how badly we wish he wasn't. No matter how badly he wouldn't want to be...and he'll live at least another 10 years like this.
He took really good care of himself...and while I'm glad he did...
Yeah...I want to go before I do that to my family.
...so...IIN
