Valerie Grosvenor Myer’s final gift to her beloved husband was to spare him a jail sentence for assisting her suicide.
there is an article about a man "assisted" the suicide of his wife.
the reason for ife's suicide was she is suffering from Parkinson's diseases ..
this conversation was ..:
husband said: if that's the only problem – that you need the house to yourself – I will pretend to go and do a day's work at the university library'. And her eyes lit up and she looked at her watch and said: 'It's a bit late for today. So tomorrow'.
The nxt day.."We woke up at 7am. I had a shower and got dressed as usual. I could see she was doing things in the kitchen with the blender and a pile of pills. I didn't ask too many questions."
"I went to give her a kiss and say goodbye, but she said: 'I have started the process. Don't get in the way. Goodbye, darling. Off you go.' And she practically shoved me through the front door.
AND.. his 72-year-old wife had conducted her suicide with meticulous efficiency, taking 120 sleeping pills. He had expected to find her dead in their bedroom, but she was lying, in her red dressing gown, on the floor of the bathroom.
the last note left for his husband was: "Do not think of this as a suicide note, rather as a thank-you for half a century together," she had typed. She described him as her "lover and my best friend", adding: "Parting is such sweet sorrow."
when sayin this.. the man eyes started to mist again.." I miss Valerie enormously. There is a great hole in my life. We have this big study. I always sat in the corner by the window and she always sat quite a long way away on the other side. To this day, I will be reading the paper and say: 'Have you seen…?' And I realise I am talking to myself – she is not there."
the heading of the article definitely caught my attention, and i thot this husband is sick.. but. not really.
