Seniors worst fear

Removal of their self determination by well meaning or not well meaning relatives, even if the Senior can afford and is capable of choosing their self determination. Happiness is having a choice, even if ones choice leads to a shorter life span. Is to die, even accidently in the home you've known for many years, surrounded by all that is familiar, including friends and helping neighbors so bad? The other option, being moved to assisted living, among strangers and all that is unfamiliar. Its to protect you, one is told, keep you from harm, add years to your life, never mind the loss of dignity or desire to want to live longer. One can fall in a strange, unfamiliar place, perhaps even more readily. Just for whom is the peace of mind? The displaced Senior??, the relative who now can give a sigh of relief because they won't be blamed for any fall or resulting death?? As for me, if you read where the decedent is dressed in a tutu, the casket filled with vinegar and there's a large 'bingo!' in the obituary, PLEASE ignore it.......marge
