getting old

Day 1072 - a long discussion about prolonging the life of a very sick person in the wake of my partner's visit to his very sick and very old mom. I believe in one's right to decide if he wants to continue suffering or put an end to it and he doesn't. But coming back from the hospital he is starting to rethinking this notion. It is heart breaking to witeness the sufferings, the inability to do anything on her own. It is so heart breaking to see the people that once were so strong and now are so weak and so frail.
