@kono8888 My sister was considering the same option, but in the end, she chose to be heavily medicated, which as I understand is often the path taken. I would've supported her decision either way. This conversation is a difficult one for me. My biggest fear is being left incapable of doing what I love to do. That said, I have a granddaughter who suffers from severe CP and has never had the freedom to pursue any of her dreams. How can I justify to her how life isn't worth living under those conditions. If there is anything that I've learned from this forum, it's that life isn't about fairness. If anything, it's about how we face what is before us. Does that really matter in the long run? Maybe we'll get an answer in the next life.

@56tburd So many of us have been in similar circumstances. We have dreams, plans, and then life throws us a curve ball. So we may need to adjust those ideas to what we can do. I have often reflected on what I had dreamt to do, and how that won't be possible now.
You're right, life isn't often fair, but it allows us to broaden our focus and perhaps do things we hadn't considered. What are your granddaughter's dreams?
