Brought my 14 year old daughpne to her 1st grade teacher's wake last night. 53 years old, married with three kids. Fuck cancer. So sorry to hear that. A teenaged girl in town passed from cancer a few years back and everyone knew her including my daupne. I brought her to St. Agnes for the service. Standing room only, you couldnt fit anyone else in the Catherdral. And everyone crying. Nothing like watching your 13 year old hug her friends, sobbing, and you have no answers.

Brought my 14 year old daughpne to her 1st grade teacher's wake last night. 53 years old, married with three kids. Fuck cancer. Life is so short... I'm 62 and in the last 18 months I have said goodbye to 3 friends/clients between the ages of 55 and 63. All men, Left behind a spouse with children. I as their CPA/CFP trying to pull together their finances is so difficult as they are full of anger. and emotion. Just as they are planning their "senior years, grandchildren etc... the spouse is now all alone. Very tragic. So sad.

Make sure you have a will and insurance so your loved ones are taken care of when you are gone. I have also gotten a long term care plan so if anything ever happens to me where I need care it won't deplete my money and become a burden on my kids.

If I ever get sick and there's a DNR box, everyone is checking it. No need to keep paying the "healthcare" state if my body is ready to call it quits.

I had to maker the decision for my father and step-mom. It is agonizing. My ex-wife always said, "If anything ever happens to me, just pull the plug." I would always answer, "I have been looking for that plug for years."

If I ever get sick and there's a DNR box, everyone is checking it. No need to keep paying the "healthcare" state if my body is ready to call it quits. I am spending over 100k a year to keep my Aunt in an Assisted living memory care unit, her money not mine. We just passed 2 years. Her overall health is good. She just has no clue where, what or who she is/was. DNR does not fix this shit. I will be on the Island on Sunday to move her on Monday to a nursing home, Medicaid covered, as she has a lump in her breast and the current place feels that they do not have the needed exp on hand to care for her. We will not do any invasive med procedures at this point. Make sure you have a long term care insurance plan. It will need to have at least 1 million or you will not last but a few years. I would have spent the rest of her money before going the nursing home route.

When wifne's mother passed a little more than two years ago (again, fuck cancer), it was wifne, my FIL and wifne's aunt at the house along with hospice. They took turns giving MIL morphine. None of them wanted to be the one to deliver the fatal dose, but my wifne is 99% certain she was the one who did it. Agonizing isn't a strong enough word.

All of my grandparents passed away in their mid-80's and every one of them was mentally sharp as a tack when they went, their bodies just broke down. I remember one of my uncles had to take my grandfather into the bathroom to clean him up and as they were walking away he mentioned the irony of one of his sons having to clean up his shit.

That’s fucking awful. Step-mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer on a Wednesday and was gone by Saturday. Dad died during Covid. Saw him until visiting hours ended at 6 and he said he didn't think he was going to last much longer. Called me an hour later saying he couldn't breathe and they put him on a ventilator. He was having complications from AFib (He didn't have covid at the time) Had to make the call a couple days later. As much as I feel I made the right decision there is always that question in the back of my head if it was the right one.
