      I had a good friend who had that. It is a difficult way to go. And equally traumatic for the caregiver(s) left behind. 😢

            Great note. I am reminded why I have respect and even envy for genuine Christian belief.

            Education is extremely important.

              Very nice note. I’d hope to have similar strength and humor and honesty if put in a similar situation.

                @Horace said in Former Senator Ben Sasse:

                I understand that completely. I often wish I had a stronger faith. I do not disavow the spiritual, nor assert that we are all there is. I just find it hard to adhere to what someone else tells me it is.
