How we all doing with this Blue Monday thingy?

The mother of one of my daughter's school friends was diagnosed with it. She lived about 3-4 years but in the end, as it was explained to me, she had life extending drugs which she just chose not to take when life became unendurable and she then passed fairly quickly and peacefully.

Horrible to think of having to take that decision.

You die due to not being able to breathe. That's isn't 'peaceful', that's asphyxiation.

From the legs up; being compos mentis all the way through to the couldn't breathe bit and death.

She died in April just before her birthday, whilst I was at St James' Park watching The Arsenal draw 0-0.

Come to think of it, I've seen The Arsenal draw 0-0 up there a few times :jonah:

I'll check. Gilberto had one cleared off the line. They hit the post.

I appreciate I should know what year my grandmother died. I don't.

Oof! Serves you right for going to away games in Newcastle imo. That's the behaviour of perverts and the mentally ill.

I believe that once she decided to no longer take the drugs that were keeping her alive she was given something that allowed her to pass peacefully into unconsciousness before she passed over.
