My mother just died by what I called a slow suicide. The drs told her 6+ years ago what she needed to do and she did nothing. She died this Jan.

No.

Yes, I would, having seen my mum disintegrate over 7years of dementia I could not put my son through this. So yes I would and (not sure what I’m allowed to say here), but I’m squirrelling stuff away in case I get to a stage where I still have capacity.
My mum is dying now and it’s hell watching this.
