Yeah. My grandmother is in that situation. She is a grandmother to me but she’s a great great grandmother for some of my family.
She moved in a nursing home more than a decade ago expecting to be there for a few years but she’s now 98, losing eyesight, hearing and mobility, and hopes it will end at some point. When she caught covid we thought she might have got what she wanted, but no.
She is trying to get medical assistance in dying, which is possible here under certain conditions, but just not for people in her case. She’s a Catholic so, well… she’s praying.

That’s horrible. Should be a humane way to move on.

I’m sorry, I shouldn’t laugh, but I can’t help but picture her kneeling, saying “please lord, let it be today…”
