Now that the Assisted Dying Bill here in the UK has passed the first hurdle in the line to becoming legal, I have to say I think it's being rushed, and there needs to be a firm legal and medical framework put in place before assisted dying becomes law. Certainly our National Health Service as of now, is not equipped for a change as big as this. There also needs to be 100% watertight legal protection for vulnerable people who could be coerced into euthanasia. It needs more thought, though I absolutely do agree with the principle.

I'd encourage everyone to assemble a spreadsheet of accounts, insurance policies, subscriptions, etc., and get wills and power of attorney sorted out (these take months). Put together an In Case of Emergency envelope with passwords and phone login, for use by a loved one in case you're out of commission. This makes picking up the pieces much easier.

Pondering #EndOfLife matters #death #dying #cancer #TerminalIllness and how some folk are massively organised and some really never think about things until it's too late. A friend had major surgery yesterday and biopsy and other tests may or may not prove she has something especially grim. She has spent the last few weeks sorting her finances and whilst she hopes none of this is needed for a while, was relieved to get her affairs in order for partner and daughter. Another friend died last week and he went downhill very fast. He was not scared of dying, had no family, lived a very simple life and died in a nursing home. I tried to get him to think about all this sort of thing but he was too ill. So.. I spent an odd lunchtime with a woman from social services starting to go through his meagre possessions. Felt oddly intrusive but also profoundly moving to see what he valued.

An important perspective on hospices. My sister was diagnosed with stage 4 incurable cancer about 18 months ago, she was initially horrified to receive a letter about palliative care, but her local hospice offers her so much more than just end of life care. This includes therapy, massages and any number of other outpatient services for her and her family.
