lmunchkin, I fully support your decision and wish you a peaceful passing. I wish you had started your own thread, because I think most people will miss your statement here. It sounds like you and your wife have been through a lot and could use support as you prepare for the end of your time on earth. I am sorry your children are doing this to your wife - she obviously deserves better, but all I can think is that they are speaking our of grief and ignorance. Yes, of course once you reach the point where you no longer think this is living, just existing, it is time to stop. I think most everyone here will understand your decision.

All the best.

(A quick side note - the woman mentioned in this thread was in a same sex relationship. I hope her partner is managing all right on her own.)

lmunchkin' husband, like cariad suggested, would you consider starting your own thread on this topic?  It's such an important conversation to have, and I think a lot of people might like to respond while not hijacking the original poster's discussion.  But please do not feel obligated to do so; we want to be supportive but not intrusive.

Imunchkin's husband,  this is a beautiful post; although sad, it was said with such feeling, love and acceptance.  I will hold you in my thoughts and pray the time with family is special.      And I do not believe it is suicide - it is nature taking its course.  Thank you for sharing your thoughts.   :cuddle;

My wife just showed me the responses to my one little post.  If she wants to create a thread, how would she or I go about it?  Neither of us are very familiar with computers.  Can anyone advise us or possibly do it for us?

Jennifer, I hope you, Belinda, and your children are at peace if you're still reading this, and if Belinda has passed, that her journey was pleasant.

Imunchkin's husband. May your journey also proceed peacefully. When it's time, it's time. For those who are left behind, of course it hurts, but I can't feel hurt for the one who is leaving. Some of your time on this earth was good, some of it bad. It's time for a new adventure elsewhere and may it be pure bliss for you!

I'll do it for you if you'd like...what would you like to call the new thread?  If you'd prefer to do it yourself, you just sign in as usual and go to the "General discussion forum".  On the righthand side near the top, above all of the discussions, you'll see various options, one of which is "New Topic."

Oh thanks M.M. would you do this for my husband?  I just am not comfortable with doing it myself.  Let see what the topic should be called, End of Life Discisions, maybe?  Heck, I dont know! I asked him what he wanted it to say but him being the obliging YOUNG man that he is, is leaving it up to me. 
Now when you do this for us, where do I look for it.   Sorry to be ignorant when it comes to computers.  Okarol had to help me sign in.  Bet she got a good laugh out of that.  Ive been reading this site for some time before I became a "Newbie" , but know there are some that have been here a long time. Just let me know where to look Moose Mom.  We really do appreciate your assistance.  Lets just don't use the word "Journey" okay?  lol   Love you MM. You are so helpful to this site and its people!

I'll start it right now and will call it "End of Life Discussions" just as you suggest.  I'll put it in this forum, "General Discussion".  And I will NOT use the word "journey"!

I moved the post to that thread.

To see the "End of Life Discussions" go to http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=22455.0

I hope you can follow this. Next time let me know and I can easily split and merge threads.

Oh gosh, okarol, I really apologize!  It is not my business to be copying threads or moving posts or anything that should be left up to you mods.  I wasn't thinking, and I am so sorry.  Lmunchkin was online and so was I, and I thought I was helping her but instead I acted above my pay grade.  Again, mhy apologies! :bow;
