Showing Original Post only (View all)Found out my friend took the death with dignity drugs on thanksgiving [View all]
I knew it was coming. I posted a couple weeks ago about it. A friend who lived close to him texted me last night. I wasnt surprised, he hadnt answered my last couple texts. Im just glad I got to see him. I went up there and spent almost a week. He looked pretty bad, lost a lot of weight and all his hair. He was pretty depressed but he seemed like his old self in a lot of ways the last couple days of my visit so I was glad I got to see him. Im glad its an option nowadays where I live. Like I said, Ive read only about 20% of those who fill the prescription ever use it. He probably would have lasted another month or two if hed hung on but he was miserable so I admired his actions.

So sorry you've lost a dear friend. He went in peace and ended his suffering. Peace to you as well.
