@TABI know you feel defeated given by the perplexity of health issues that remain undiagnosed that you are facing. I had a friend who used to assist the dying. They call them "death doulas" and they provide comfort and support to people at the end of their life. She used to work through a funeral parlour. Had another friend euthanase herself 10 years ago when it wasn't legal to do so. It was not seen in a good light back then but now the laws have changed. She used to go to euthanasia medical ethics meetings with a prominent euthanasia doctor they tried to silence here in Melbourne. Have you thought about preparing for end of life transition? My friend said they were all "living" in the euthanasia camp unlike people who weren't empowered in assisted dying. There is compassionate end of life care available to support us all now.

Hidden talents @TAB !

You dragged out the geetar recently?

..am in 'keep telling myself' loop re guitar ..

Bloody Hell @TAB !!!

What are your options? Sounds like not a lot of use local, which sucks

Thats lovely guitar there @TAB! Wanted to say my friend who euthanased herself was a member of Dying with Dignity Victoria. They used to be called Euthanasia Victoria and were really politically active years ago. Don't know what its like now. But Dr. Philip Nitszche euthanasia doctor gave people who were struggling with serious ill health empowered options before it became legal. I notice the site has since changed. Its worth having a look around. It really opened my eyes to what goes on. They used to run meetings and groups and my friend who was not dying at the time had an end of life plan in place. She met many friends along the way and they made a documentary about them. It was a good end of life journey for her and I was happy she had that in her life. https://www.dwdv.org.au/

My other friend who I met on facebook through a transgender friend used to be a night nurse, got serious depression as a result of circadian rhythm disruption and other ill health and hosted a big pagan community group from her home. Her place was like a halfwayhouse for people and she ended up becoming a death doula. I saw her talk to people and she was very compassionate and comforting to the dying. Have seen other death doulas say people should never die alone. Have seen one other woman who was a death doula offer so much care and respect for peoples journeys and would give stage by stage care in the dying process. Accepting you are dying is a big deal and it requires the type of care standard healthcare can't give. There was a book by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross that was written on the stages of dying. I can't recall the title but she was a pioneer in this field. I read the book once. Acknowledging you are dying is very difficult adjustment to make for anyone. I understand how you must be feeling and all those feelings are ok

prob not dying yet unless same thing hapens again @Former-Member thanks.

ok had to look up acronyms. wasnt the magical 'i cant breathe' thing like a few times before.well, was more aware this time, was trying to clear throat. coughing caused blockage. which could not unblock, ergo cant breathe, woken up by hitting head on furniture. ok its the same as other times, just remember it better. think weight related also being intubated for thyroid op prob not helping, neither does Indian burial ground under this house. first time came here for inspection, same thing happened just out of town driving away, coughing, choking, had to pull over
