And I find it really hard to read people posting about making life worth living instead. My dad died of pulmonary fibrosis, suffocating to death over two years hooked up permanently to oxygen. The last few months were agonising. People saying this haven't a clue how much some suffer. It is so cruel. #AssistedDying #Scotland #NHS #Health #PalliativeCare #Politics

Very sad to see the Scottish assisted dying bill voted against. Thinking of my dad tonight, and those like him, who suffered cruel and prolonged deaths from terminal disease, with totally inadequate palliative care, and would have dearly liked the option of assisted dying legislation. #AssistedDying #Scotland #NHS #Health #PalliativeCare #Politics

I thought this article interesting as I've cause to be thinking about the topic lately. "Expanding palliative care’s remit might make the prospect of a good death — unhastened, managed, comfortable and with minimal physical pain — a preferable alternative to the heroic battle to the end."
What the article didn't really touch on is the presence and needs of those living with or with close bonds to the person dying.
It had me wondering whether as a society we should be making provision for 'palliative care leave' in a similar way to parental leave to care for a newborn.

Increasing numbers of people are dying at home – what does this mean for society?

IN 2008, a group of palliative care researchers noted that demographic trends such as the “baby boomer” generation and falling birth rates would lead to an ageing population and dramatic increase in the number of deaths in the 2010s onwards.They saw two possibilities: “either there will be a substantial increase in institutional deaths or major rises in numbers needing community end-of-life care.”They urged long-term planning to improve the capacity of the NHS to care for dying patients outside institutions.

The UK's assisted dying law faces new hurdles. Plans lack details on how services would work, and there are worries about private companies making money from it.
