Making direct comparisons is useless. Every case is different.
I’m not about to give all of my mother’s medical history to you, or anyone else as it’s none of your business.
What I shared is enough.
These situations are depressingly horrible, but inevitable.
I hope you have someone you trust and that loves you enough to make the decisions you approved of when your time comes.
What the poster is trying to tell you is that your Mom was loved and made as comfortable as possible. Terri was not. The feeding tube was pulled out without any pain killers. As she starved and dehydrated, Michael Schiavo and his lawyer sat eating pizza and watching Terri. A nurse did try to put salve on her lips and wet her tongue but was chased out of the room.
I believe I do, and if that changes, I will be writing more things out.
I don’t need to know your mom’s details. The big difference here is that your mom was given drugs to keep her comfortable as you let her go. That’s honorable.
Death without painkillers isn’t painless. Anyone who tries to tell you that it is doesn’t know anything.
It would’ve been more humane to kill Terri in any number of ways than what they did. It was more barbaric than putting her in a cage and lighting it on fire.
