susie, thank you so much for posting.
I, too, have read about Dignitas and was comforted by it.
As a religious skeptic, I feel you when it comes to finding solace and peace from a higher power or the like.
I believe Dignitas will offer release to more than those with terminal illness which the US Medical Aid in Dying law requires.
Thank you for this reminder...I very much appreciate your sharing.
My hope is that you do enjoy life when not tending to medical issues, which I agree are fully unfair!!
Sending light and "glimmers."

Thanks so much, Glinda. Nice to know that we're not alone in our skepticism about religion. In addition to Dignitas, you may be interested in Compassion in Dying...which is working on dignity in death legislation in several states. I live in Ohio, where I think it's hopeless (although the three cities are bubbles of clear thinking, most of the state is not).
I love your concept of "light and 'glimmers.'" May you have many days of light!
Susan
