Insofar as an abrupt turn for the worse...

It is entirely possible that she was doing reasonably well yesterday (her initial planned day of departure), but was on the brink of agony today.

My mother died of ovarian cancer. She was comfortable at home, but when the end came... as she knew it would... the decline was quick and extremely painful. She lasted a day in the hospital with a button she could push for morphine on demand.

She faced her fate with courage, grace, and faith. I'm glad the end came relatively quickly when it was time. I'm glad she didn't have to suffer months of needless pain and helplessness.

I'll not judge this woman.

She didn’t want to just die.

She actively promoted death, suicide, to other states and other people.

She could have been anonymous, but chose to market her choice very aggressively. That is what I have a problem with.
