[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 9237507, member: 54866"] I didn't interpret it is a criticism as such. I was wondering -from someone who has experienced this- how should we go about this issue? I'm all in favour of what a person and their family want- be that what it may. If only for reasons of balance, I will add that not everyone attaches importance to everything in the same way. Some people genuinely will feel they [I]are[/I] unnecessary burden to others/their families and this very thing could well be what what distresses them the most. I'm not saying that is right or wrong or they should be made to feel that way, but rather some people may feel like this because they attach great importance to that feeling. I have lost count of the number of people who apologise profusely because they require aid or they dislike the idea that someone else has to do X or Y for them. Try as I might, I don't think I've yet come up with the explanation that best allays this feeling- people sign up for healthcare knowing they will have to do this kind of stuff. Of course being in that position erodes personal dignity to some degree and I can't think I would be able to accept it any better or worse than anyone else. [/QUOTE]
