[QUOTE="PhilipB, post: 7829799, member: 106154"] To come at it from a different angle, lots of other people have made very good points, i think the loneliness you mention is key. If you are happy on the farm then, though physical health is fading, you might still die perfectly content prising apart a bale of hay with arthritic fingers, even though everyone else thinks "poor thing, she should have been in a home years ago". But if the loneliness seems to be freezing you up, bit by bit, then get out, and tell the ancestors you couldn't do it alone. [/QUOTE]
