Sorry Jim, losing friends sucks.

Obamacare had a provision to pay doctors to sit down with patients and explain their end of life options and how to guarantee it would happen the way they want. The disloyal opposition screamed, "Death Panels". I think I posted a chart on what doctors chose for themselves. It was very heavy on pain relief, and very light on extraordinary measures.

Yes, I remember such a news item. Presumably, these are people who love life as much as I do, who dislike pain as much as I do, and yet choose dramatically different end of life plans than I would. Presumably, the only difference is that they're better informed about the process. Something to be learned there.

Sorry Jim, sounds like a rough way to go.
Beats the alternative?

A friend recently joined facebook to try and connect with some of the many musicians he'd played with over the years. What he found was he was wasting his time, because most of them were dead. Griff asked Quote:

It's shocking when they are your age. Fortunately there haven't been too many of those yet for me.

I'm sorry jim. I've lost some good friends in the last few years, and I agree with the sentiments expressed by other dwellars.
The fact that you were moved enough to write about him, well, he sounds like a neat guy, and interesting guy, and that's a pretty cool way to have lived. |

thanks shaw ( and all y'all )
It's a bummer, but it was inevitable, and I saw it coming a long way off, so I'm not really all that upset about it. That's kind of why I put it in this thread. I'm more relieved that he's at rest. We had some fun times.

it's better to miss.
there's plenty of time to be missed later, and others can do it for you. I'll miss as long as I can. it hurts, true. still. I want to live.
