Two lives. Unknown to each other. Neither will ever meet. Both are old. Both cannot speak for themselves. Both suffering. Both female. Both have no voice. Both are Very special. Neither are famous. Both miles apart. Both worlds apart. Both have carers. No one saw this coming. Sad Times. Painful Times. Troubled Times. All joy gone. Hopeless situation. Decisions must be made. When is the right time? Monday or Tuesday? Morning or evening? Emergency? Private? NHS? What would be the cost? Is cost the factor? Possibly!
Taking matters into your own hands? Doing the right thing? Carrying the burden alone? Who do you tell? Will they judge? People can be quick to judge? Guilt trip? Fear? Sigh. Best interest? Yes. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Sigh. Sleepless nights. Conversations. Nothing new under the sun. What has happened, has happened before, and will in the future. When IS the right time? When IS it too late? Will it be tomorrow? Will it be next week? Will it be next month???
Loved Deeply, more than words can say. Too sad for tears.

'Both have no voice', but
'Both have no voice', but both have minds and both have thoughts.
It must be absolute torture for our elderly people in this situation.
I have known so many and dread the day when it might happen to me.
A very thought-provoking piece of writing.
Good on you!
