While not opposing the 'right' to die. I'm intending to hang around for as long as I can.
Having said that - I've seen very elderly relatives, who seemed quite ready to go, when that time came. It's not something that I like to turn over too often in my mind.
In many ways, I think that the main struggle is for those elders to be able to participate in the lives of the rest of us (who are working "9-5"). Even now, I imagine that for my parents, the days fly by and they don't get to see us kids. It scares me to think how this ends up.
Time to take some leave off work I think !!
