Sight

A man wants to die at 75. Someone asked him more about it: "Doctors Wanted to Extend Life. Instead they Extended Death."

Knowing what I know now, I would refuse the radiation treatments (and other medical interventions) Roscivs received in June-July 2010.
   I'm sorry. But not for everything. At least on the day he died I gave him slightly more morphine slightly more often than "allowed"; by that time I knew that to do otherwise would be extending death — and denying him his dying-wish.

I believe he may have suffered more because it took me as long as it did to see his death. I believe he suffered willingly. I will live with that until I die. This is how: Truthfully, if Bjorn or I got cancer I most probably wouldn't choose chemo. You live, you learn.
