An old lady in a rural village in Henan, who is sick and knows that her time is short, some say that she doesn't want to drag down her children, some say that her children are not filial, and some say that she can't stand the torture of illness. I chose a day, freshened up, drank pesticides and quietly left home, never to come back.
An 84-year-old man in Evergrande City, Jinan, broke free from his wife's pull due to illness and jumped from the eighth floor.
My fourth grandmother died at the age of 104, lying in bed for more than ten years, six children except for the eldest daughter's physical reasons, the other children took care of one month each, and my second aunt in Qingdao came to take care of two months each time and then left. The fourth grandmother urinated on the bed, except for the inability to speak, other functions were normal, especially the ears could hear clearly. Several children are in trouble because of the problem of taking care of the elderly. The eldest daughter, the eldest son died a year earlier. As soon as the four grandmothers left, the children no longer had a companion, and they no longer interacted with each other.
My wife's grandmother had six children, only two of whom were left when she died at the age of 86, and my mother-in-law was 59 years old when she died. You can imagine how bad the quality of life of my grandmother was in her later years.
For many elderly people, the three major conditions for happiness in old age are good health, and it is the greatest blessing to be able to die without illness. The second is to have an economic foundation, no money, rely on children to give alms, and it is not happiness to live according to people's faces. The third is the filial piety of children.
The saddest thing is that he is sick and bedridden, has no money, and his children are not filial.
It is because the ancients said that old age does not die, and longevity is humiliating.
