Please End It For Me!
Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
I was in a patients room talking to the wife of the patient. She was an elderly Jewish lady no taller than five feet. She was in her seventies and also her husband. At first it seemed that she did't want to talk, but as I started the conversation going, she seemed more comfortable with me.
She soon opened her heart about all of the trouble she had been having with his dementia or Alzheimer disease. All of the times that she had to call the fire department to have her husband picked up off of the ground. All of the times that the police had to bring him home, because he wandered off.
In between our visit, one of our volunteers that brings in her dog for the patients to pet came in for about thirty minutes. She is a beautiful lady with a Yorkie dog in a pouch. A very cute dog.
Then she revealed that when his disease was confirmed and he was getting worse, they had a difficult discussion. He asked his wife to just end it for me! Please, just end it for me! Meaning, that, he wanted his wife to kill him so that he didn't have to go through the Alzheimer disease process.
His wife was startled! She told him that she couldn't do that because they would, "follow the money." Which meant that the police would know that she did it and would be arrested for it. Assisted suicide is illegal in the State of Texas! Her husband knew that he was dying and just wanted a quicker and a more compassionate ending to his life.
Do you know anyone who wanted to end his own life to make things easier? Can you tell me about it in the comments section?
