So sorry to hear that Kathleen, must be the hardest thing ever. I know it will happen to my parents but I just cannot imagine life without them.
As for her choice I would think it is the right one however painful it is for you.
I do believe it is a person's right to choose when they go, it is their life after all?

So why say no when someone's physical health is perfect but mental health just can't be fixed?

Not all drugs do that to you Seb, there is citalopram. It allows you to carry on with life without thinking about suicide all the time.
Thing is getting people to go to the doctors to talk about it plus getting a doctor that understands.
