@marliessmits64

Dear dear followers and other people, this is my last tweet. In a few days I will receive the final injection to end my life: multiple sclerose has won😢

Replying to @marliessmits64

2 please don’t do this Jesus loves you, please cry out to Him please I’m beseeching you, please don’t take your own life, I can’t believe how many are agreeing with this, please please don’t do it 😭😭😭

Replying to @RedChocolateBox and @marliessmits64

Please stop. Her decision is made, with much thought and consideration, including her feelings about religion and relationships.

Please stop and objectively look at what you're saying and how it's actually coming across - completely opposite how I hope you intend it to.

Heather @RedChocolateBox

No I wont stop ‼️ we have a duty and I’d never be forgiven if I didn’t do anything/everything I could to save this womans life and ultimately her soul!

This seems like an area where Pope Francis will weigh in and give people bad advice.

If she has or does receive Jesus before she dies, we’ll see her in heaven. It is not for us to judge those whose pain and suffering is beyond their ability to cope.

I think it’s ok. As long as she didn’t die young. Slippery slope though. Ig there was a god Ukraine would not be happening.

While we’re at it they should legalize ecstasy in old folks homes.

Bergoglio is all for jabs that cause death.
He’s stated it over and over again.

I am not commenting on my opinion on her upcoming suicide just on her need to be the dramatic center of attention.

If one is going to commit suicide one does not need to get people emotionally wrapped into it.

Drama queen!

I can’t say that I blame her. MS is a horrible disease, it’s slow and and is like being imprisoned in your own body unable to do anything for yourself. May the good Lord bless her souls and take her into his arms.

I knew a man who was suffering unbearably from cancer. He went out to an isolated spot on his farm with two guns, in case one failed.

He didn’t advertise it, and didn’t leave a mess for anyone to clean up.

I never judged him. But I wonder about someone who wants to tell the world about it.

Yes putting it on twitter is a bit much.

Exactly. Just like the people who decry there not being assisted suicide on every corner. Somehow they want other people wrapped up in their death decision.

"Ig there was a god Ukraine would not be happening".

How do you figure?

That sort of indicates to me that they’re not that secure about it themselves.

If you choose to do something that you feel is right for you, why would you want to involve others in it - especially if you’ve decided to willfully check out of this earthly sojourn, anyway?

Seems kind of self-centered and egotistical, which are probably the last things that should be occupying the mind of someone about to enter upon Eternity.

No.

She is not.

If you are determined to check out of this life then do it yourself.

You do not put that kind of burden on someone else.

That is cowardly.

Ditto this. She is facing down her demons, and should rest in Peace.

Well, can’t she do it in private, without trying to engage the whole world in it?

I saw a lot of comments regarding attention and drama, and while people may let their friends and loved ones know so they’re not caught totally off-guard, the addition of an emoji at the end of the post makes it suspect, but some people don’t know how else to convey emotion online. We’re not seeing body language or hearing a voice.

My aunt has MS, and having seen what it and the COVID shot did to amplify it, I can’t blame this woman for her choice. I know that I was much more comfortable with the thought of death when I was on dialysis and far sicker than I am now. MS is a horrible illness, and my friend’s mother has it too, but she didn’t treat hers for the first twelve years. She’s in awful shape.

Exhibitionist?

Is that a type of sin in the pride group?

Why broadcast it? That just comes off as an attempt to get JUSTIFICATION for it.

And that may be a sin.

Maybe twitter is the only way she can communicate with her friends and love ones, and this is how she can say goodbye?
