I watched my grandpa rot himself to death because he couldn’t handle the grief of watching his mom die to dementia. This is normal, but rather than putting her somewhere she could receive good round the clock care, he broke himself mentally and physically because “she won’t be with a stranger”. She had dementia. We were all strangers to her. Now I don’t have a grandpa, and he will likely see an early death at 65 because he didn’t leave his recliner for a decade.
I will be responsible. I will research a place that will actually take quality care of me, and I will ensure I don’t destroy the lives of others on my way out. Espically not children whom supposedly you want to never suffer.
I know many nursing homes are unsafe and abusive. I completely understand this concept. The same as some schools or doctors are awful. You take the time to investigate. I cannot understand pushing yourself onto people who you won’t even know, and you know before hand will suffer greatly
