You have serious difficulties in comprehension.

Well that escalated quickly xD

 

The work of a hospice is to make sure the patient dies comfortably - sadly this isnt the case for many hospices. Given that he'll be given the most comfortable exit possible, be it the best morphine etc... Why am I even responding to this smh...

 

Next time you quote me, copy and paste so you get the correct spelling, illiterate miserable old geezer has nothing better to do than argue over nothing on a celebrity death forum. xD

Former US President Jimmy Carter will receive hospice care and "spend his remaining time at home with his family" instead of additional medical intervention, the Carter Center said.

 

Mr Carter, 98, is the country's oldest living former leader.

 

The Democrat served one term from 1977 to 1981. He was defeated in his re-election bid by Ronald Reagan.

The comments by his grandson make it sound like Rosalynn is also near the end tbh.

Not necessarily.I think it is more a response to the announcement.The pair are deeply in love have had over three quarters a century of marriage and are confronting the inevitability of separation.Think it just means Jimmy is dying and he and Rosalynn are at peace with that inevitable fact.

I don’t understand Why he wasn’t ever nº1… probably the most prominent pick of the list right ?

Anyone on the list is better than Dick Van Dyke.

I agree, although I do wonder how long Ros will last without him. She’ll be 96 in August. HW Bush passed away seven months after Barbara.

I don't think there will be long between them, and you never know Jimmy may not be first.

I can see it being another Prince Philip/QE2 scenario where she lasts less than 18 months

Sad but not a shock.

 

Tell you what is a shocker mind, is the fact that I left him off my DDP team to prioritise a few younger names. Like Rhod Gilbert who is planning a charity mountain trek, and Janey Godley who’s doing an extensive tour.

 

I’m a prick.

Figured as much. She looked worse than he did in recent-ish photos...

Yeah but they are worth a lot more points than Carter so it isn't that silly a decision plus it is only February.

Incredible Jimmy made 98 given that he was the eldest of 4 children who other than him are all long gone:

 

Gloria (1926_1990) 63

Ruth (1929_1983) 54

Billy (1937_1988) 51

 

All died of pancreatic cancer.Jimmy apparently was the only non smoker which probably explains how he was able to live so much longer.

That's really made me sad. On a lot of issues he was years even decades ahead of his time. There will be a time when his presidency and style of leadership will be examined. He was not the kind of personality who usually gets those positions. But he was the right person at that time and I think we desperately need more of people like him who have moral character and a lifetime of service.

For that to happen twice in 5 years for two former US Presidents and First Ladies, is quite the coincidence should it happen this year.

Not really a coincidence it's just something that happens. To put in very unscientifically, at that age when they lose a partner of many decades they often just lose the will to live.

Feels weird to say this about a 98-year-old who has lasted longer than anyone expected, but this is very sad news to me.

 

Fuck what you think about his politics or his presidency, he was a good man in an environment that produces plenty of terrible men.

 

I hope his final days are peaceful.
