I think it is a conundrum, that literally all my problems would be solved if I was not 'here'. and i don't even mean 'all' as a fallacy, it's actually just fact. Certainly seems, or perhaps I intuit, that choosing to persevere would be or is the last and greatest mistake of all.
Sorry if that's stupid. I think it should be based on an individual case, not a blanket statement. In my case it actually applies.
ETA, I was thinking of this, because I knew a couple, not much older than I. Great people. Husband had a chronic progressive illness, wife cared for him. Wife got cancer, jerk of a dr my family member had. That dr the only game in town for certain area of cancer. Thought if I ever got it there wouldn't even bother going to him, quack at best. Of course he missed wife's, only after months of her insisting he re-visited it, sure enough she had it. Told her it was early stage. Of course it wasn't and had spread. Bad news upon bad news. Husband chose MAID. Likely since wife would not be able to care for him, with her treatments or obviously incapacitation or death. About 3 weeks later wife chose it also. Heard yesterday from person I've known for decade family 'nice' people but offered no help at all. At first I was disheartened when he opted for it over no help. Today I thought, sure, in an ideal world. But it's not an ideal world, and they knew that intimately. Most people around them said they had no sympathy since he chose it; they all became quiet when she chose it too. No one seemed to consider why, because no one there was living her/ their reality. Even in church they said they don't give someone an end-of-life blessing with that. Yet they were great people out of resources and strength. The only condemnation I can see is for judgmental people, or all of us/ any of us allowing that situation to be the case, not them. Perhaps they made a wise choice, based on facts.
