@oldkarl - sounds like your situation is far worse. I'll be praying for you especially. Please rethink suicide, our situations change in the most unexpected ways sometimes. Talk to God and get on this forum and reach out. The people here are good, they understand, they've walked in some uncomfortable shoes too.
Hi @oldkarl, it's been a while since our paths have crossed. Good to hear from you. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your son to overdose. That is hard. I know you have several chronic and complex conditions and that you have been facing end-of-life for quite some time. May I ask what condition or symptom has you thinking that your timeline is getting closer, possibly as soon as Easter?
I didn't realize that you are also your wife's caregiver. Does she live at home with you? Do you have home care and/or family to help with the demands of your and your wife's health circumstances?
