Yes it's sad t watch someone give up, several years ago when I worked at the local ILC I was working with a client that had some mental issues and jumped off a bridge and broke his neck, he had been in and out of the hospital a couple times because he had no place to live. Between the hospital and ILC services he moved into an apartment and had a couple pca's, one day well he was transferring himself from his bed to his chair he fell and ended up back in the hospital, he gave up on life and stopped talking to anyone. after about six months he passed away. He figured that between the two issues life wasn't worth living anymore.

I had to watch my uncle literally starve to death in May because of his colon cancer that had spread everywhere. Such a sad way to die .

In my judgement, she and only she knew what was right for her. Can you imagine how difficult those two months were for her and her mom? Some of it must have been agonizing. I'm not sure I could do what she did. When the book becomes available in something other than EPUB format, I'll buy it. >From The Huffington Post, There's an old saying that artists have to suffer, but after six years of paralysis, Christina Symanski decided she had suffered enough.
