No it is not pretty. In fact, for many it is sheer horror.
It seems as though those who have actually experienced episodes like this are much less sure this was a "murder" and more a hopeless situation. My experience was losing my wife when she was 43 to cancer. I know without a doubt she would despise anyone trying to do to her what was done with TS for all those years.
I love her far to much to adopt the path of the Schindlers and drag out her death one hour too long. But to many here I'm a heartless lover of death.
I honestly believe that those who say we are heartless lovers of death, or evil people, have never had to face terminal conditions of their loved ones. Terri's case brought people by the droves to set up living wills. That was a good thing.
I don't want my husband to suffer the strain of taking care of me for years and years with no improvement or end in sight. It's a fate worse than death. I love him too much to will that on him.
I am so sorry you lost your beautiful wife, especially at such a young age. God Bless, sw
