I used to think I wanted to live that long… but it is really only possible to that with dignity if you have money, a big supportive family and your health. And even then it seems really really hard. I would be happy to live an active healthy life to like 90 and then drop dead from something like an aneurysm. No lingering.

It definitely takes a supportive family for sure…….😮
When my mom had cancer, she moved in with us. Liz took care of her……….🥰
Dealing with aged relatives is so difficult if you are on your own!🙄
Oh I feel for you @silvertop, your grandma with dementia from age ~80 to 101. That is a LONG TIME to have memory impairment, etc. My dad lingered with it until age 89, and Mom (at 86) took care of him at home until the final months.
I think we'd all rather die suddenly before we get to that point. You are right. It takes MONEY and FAMILY SUPPORT to be able to die with dignity.
