Shortly after 11 a.m. on December 16, 2019, Cindy Siegel Shepler drew her last breath in a spartan room in Basel, Switzerland. The 62-year-old American twisted a knob on her IV pole and soon fell asleep for the last time.I had stayed with her and her husband David in Knoxville, Tennessee, for their last three nights at home before they left for Basel. And I spoke to her for the last time about 12 hours before she died.Cindy had been forced to give up a high-powered corporate career at age 35 and struggled for decades with a handful of painful diseases.
I just want to thank our Police while they fight Black Racist Hatred. Black people want to force the police out of the cities and states so black people can run through the United States and rule over White people and force white people out of the USA. That,s their goal.
This woman should serve as an example to us all. Death is the inevitable ending to life. We should honor the life we've been given until the quality of that life has diminished then allow people to pass with dignity and peace. All States should enact broad Assisted Death laws!
🙏🏻
So many feelings! What a wonderful tribute to her memory. 💔
OMG just by looking at most of the comments here, I can see why US is so bad. Dignity first as some metion here is the most important. We are owners of our bodies and our lives.
Good for your friend. She doesn’t Have to tell us why!
Will the famlies of the 10's of thousands of elderly in New York and New Jersey nursing homes have an opportunity to share their loved one's story? Maybe I'm confusing assisted death and legislated euthanasia...
