Guidelines for this forum: End of Life issues

This discussion thread is pinned and locked. It is closed to new replies.

This is for both people experiencing their own end of life issues, and for those who have people with EOL issues in their lives or suppport or work with those people.

It is a non-judgemental area.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON SUICIDE: It is common, at this stage of life, to contemplate "wouldn't it be better for everyone if...." and we'll tolerate those hypothetical discussions. But if it turns out "I'm gonna tonight..." we have to invoke DU rules, which includes closing the thread and giving you some support numbers and probably notifying the administrators. Your safety is foremost. Let's not hash that out in reality, but hash it out in discussion.

You're dying. Your dad (or mom) (or spouse) (or child) is dying. A close friend is dying. It's what happens. Not easy, but part of life.

People die, but we don't discuss it much. People have plenty to say about birth, but we say so little about the other end of the process. This is where this forum will help. Keep well everyone, but if it gets hard, this is the place to go.

Support to tall.
