[QUOTE="Ryder, post: 1483860, member: 663"] My wife's mother had wanted to croak out for a long time. She simply saw no reason to live longer. In the hospital she was setting up talking and feeling better. She had insisted that her daughter go home. She told the hospital people if they put anything down her throat she would come back and haunt them. She just relaxed and died. My mother got to the point she was tired of being weak and in the hospital. She refused a rather simple surgical procedure that may have given her more years. I think she figured it was time to go. I knew one man in his late 80's who had lived a long, productive and busy life who could still get around some but was nearly blind and was just worn out. The last time I saw him he said, "I don't see why a person has to live this long." He had to go in the hospital with pneumonia and died. I figured they took his cigarettes away from him and the shock killed him. Elizabeth Kubler Ross worked with many dying patients. She has written books on this and has seen many that more or less made a choice to die. Some actually pulled a fast one on family members to send them home so they could die without others holding them back. [/QUOTE]
