168. I told my daughter to let me go as soon as my girl are ALL OK with it...
Assuming there is no financial issue i want them to have time to come to terms with it. I recently went through this with my grandfather. I was the voice advocating it was time. His body was already showing signs of death. My entire family went though every scenario they could before joining me. It was a matter of a few days from the time he fell to the time he was let go but it was extremely traumatic.

I am currently unmarried and my children are the ones i feel should have say. IMO if i am in a state where i am "dead" already, it matters little to me if i am kept around for the sake of my children's emotional well being. I was 11 when my father died from an accident. It took me over a decade to truly come to terms with the loss.

I have explained to my oldest that i do not fear dying and that this would not upset me should they take me off of support but if they feel they cannot right away this is understandable also.

I imagine i will have to rewrite this plan several times before i reach a point where it will become more pressing. Life changes many things. But for now this works for me.
