@Zoffiel What an inspiration she is! Well done to your friend, Ms M on doing what SHE wants to do, at a time of her choosing & to go out with a bang.
I recently watched a doco on SBS (or was it ABC) on an elderly lady who decided it was her time 'to go' but she had to fly to Europe to achieve it, as she didn't 'qualify' under the Australian states' rules. She also had a living wake before she left and her daughter travelled with her to Europe - and it showed the whole process. It was very peaceful.
NSW is still deciding about VAD - every other state has passed it & no doubt NT will, in time, too. Yep, there are stringent hoops to jump thru - and it really does suck that she has had to go outside of her local area to make it possible - tho maybe the glam hotel was nicer in Melbourne than at home? I hope she's had a wow of a time!
We'll be thinking of you as you attend Ms M's final fling ...... deep breaths & keep that smile going tho tears will be understandable too xx
As @noosa_blue150 says - I hope that I also have the courage to do the same, when the time comes!
