Lab 10,979 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 my mum died of cancer last year watching and nursing her through 6 moths of hell will haunt me forever -- if she`d of had the choice she would of said her goodbyes and been gone in a few weeks time to change the law i would`nt let one of my dogs suffer the way she did ..a few year back a local retired keeper had an illness that ment he would be a burden on his family he rang round said his goodbyes told his son where to find him took himself into the woods and shot himself he made a choice that no one had the right to take away .. My Granadad passed away 09........an ex-marine, strong fit man all his life and a grafter like no other. He got bone cancer and the suffering he went through at the end was unbearable......lying in his bed with me syringing morphine into his mouth was horrible for me so god knows what it was like for him. To see such a strong man fade like that was tear jerking. I was contacted by my Firearms Officer as both myself and my Grandad shared a gun cabinet and they questioned me on his mental health. I never moved the guns, infact i never thought about it till they phoned me that day......if he had taken his own life i would not have blamed him. He passed away in hospital....i was so glad that we weren't going to go down the route of a nursing home, he'd have hated that.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
