I’ve been my husband’s caregiver since his stroke. I’m the only thing standing between him and the George Greers of this world, who judge his life unworthy of living.

Judge Greer could never have gotten away with ordering the execution of an innocent woman against her clearly expressed will to live if not for the support of ignorant people who say that disabled people have no reason to live.

If I’m ever again faced with the decision to unplug somebody I love or obey God and help them live, I’m sure I will make the same decision again. I’ve never known anyone to struggle with guilt for not killing someone.

I hope you never have to make such a decision. If you make the wrong choice, your loved ones would have to pay the price, and you would never know the blessing of caring for another person.

Being kept alive by machines is NOT living.

I was primary caregiver for my mother , bedridden for 10 years. Didn't know where she was...but I knew she was at home.

I would not have had her hooked up to begin with. She died at age 94. She would have not chosen to live that long in her condition.

I’m sorry about your husband’s stroke, BB. He is blessed to have you as his caregiver.
