Not just Veteran Affairs. Anyone with a terminal illness. I was diagnosed with ALS in March and 12 hours later, while still in shock, they came and said I was a candidate for assisted suicide. No doubt less cost to the health care system. Maggots.
I don’t like it either but I accept it. I’m so grateful that I’ve had an amazing life and I am loved. Here’s a quote by Marcus Aurelius “Death is a function of nature and those who fear functions of nature are but a mere child”. Reading your posts and comments are a bright moment in my day.
I don't know you. But I'm tearing up right now. I am sorry for what you are going through but I am thankful that you have your faith in what lies ahead. I want to hug you in person. So know that I am giving you a very large virtual hug. (I'm god loving wife, mom and grandma...so plenty of hugs to give!!!)
I am so sorry about your diagnosis. I know that each day we are all a day closer to our inevitable death. Most of us blindly believe death will be at a super old age. When my grandmother was in her 90s and had limited mobility, she felt useless. We constantly told her that her job was to pray for her family, even the children yet to be born. Her prayers still impact our family. We knew she prayed for us. You can continue to impact your family and our world even with mobility issues.
I completely agree. I have always been a happy and positive person and this disease will not change me. I want to show others that you can be strong despite setbacks. Fake it till you make it. This is hard on them too. I can’t do much but think and this has brought me closer to God. I am also grateful, I won’t get cancer lol.

I am a man
I am self-aware
And everywhere I go
You're always right there with me
I flirted with you all my life
Even kissed you once or twice
And to this day I swear it was nice
But, clearly, I was not ready
When you touched a friend of mine
I thought I would lose my mind
But I found out with time
That, really, I was not ready (No, no)
Oh death, oh death
Oh death, really, I'm not ready
Oh death, you hector me
And decimate those dear to me
You tease me with your sweet relief
You are cruel and you are constant
When my mom was cancer sick
She fought but then succumbed to it
But you made her beg for it
"Sweet Jesus, please, I'm ready"
Oh death, oh death
Oh death, really, I'm not ready (No, no)
Oh death, oh death
Oh death, clearly, I am not ready (No, no)
