Got a Question for TherapyLinx?
By Suzanne Halfen, Psy.D.
Dear Linx Letters:
I am afraid of becoming a burdensome invalid as I grow older. I am 70 now and in good health with no disabilities.
I have Assisted Living insurance. I do not want to live with either my son or daughter. If I should become badly
incapacitated I may choose suicide. What do you suggest?
Don
