I wish you godspeed on your journey and I applaud your courage to fly in the face of "norms" which aren't always normal but no one knows quite how to change them without the necessary, overwhelming upheavel. I have had 4 beloved rabbits put to sleep at the end of their very long lifespans because the quality of their lives had diminished to just heart-beating and some serious un-resolvable illness, and have always wondered why we show more compassion for our companion animals than we do for our loved ones. Makes no sense. To end suffering seems as valid a vow as to preserve life. Perhaps a more important one, in the end. My very best to you and yours and all who love you. xo
