why is it tragic?
His knees wouldn’t function any longer and he wanted out since he couldn’t do everything for himself any longer.
He had us all come to visit him and explained his decision and no one in the family tried to stop him which I think is good.
If I ever became an invalid or had to have people care for me I will do the same!

Same here. I hope when my end comes, I die of a quick heart attack or something. Slowly falling to pieces in a nursing home is about the absolute worst possible way to end.
It’s tragic for anyone to put so little value on their own life, or that of a family member. Or even a stranger for that matter. Life is a gift from God. Any time somebody spits in God’s eye and throws away that precious gift, I see that as a tragedy. Any time somebody considers themselves or someone else disposable, I see that as a tragedy. Any time somebody thinks they don’t deserve to live because they’re too much of a burden, and their own family agrees, I see that as a tragedy.
