I used to keep on my FR page a listing of all those I found who had been killed like this by family. There were a lot.
If you ask around, you will likely find what I did, that people you work with and had always found to be good people, have done this to Grandma or Aunt Bessie. Mostly because of Alzheimers or dementia in old age.
A coworker of mine recently had her mother hospitalized for dehydration, and was puzzled when they kept her mother and did not send her back to the nursing home. She had been re-hydrated. Then a "hospice worker" showed up, and explained to the family that the mother had Alzheimers and could not swallow.
After that it's all an old story for you by now. I asked her for specific details and she admitted to me that one night was very bad, the pain appeared to be unbearable and they were pretty much unable to make her mother comfortable. After that it went well though, she said.
You think this is gruesome? try reading this and then eating dinner
If you have never had a heart rate of 160 for several days in a row, believe me, it would be a very uncomfortable experience. I think this was one of the most evil things I have read. They made her death into a documentary, with a good chance she could hear them and understand what they were saying. The nazis have little on us now, imo.
Ok I will leave you alone now. Thanks for listening and learning. It's a big, big picture.
Marmema I remember that, but vaguely. That was horrible to read about. Terri is going to go thru the same thing. How can we stop it? This has to stop. I would not want to go thru that, nor would I want anyone in my family to go thru it.
I'm amazed and disgusted at the ignorance of so many people. I was trying once again to explain Terri's condition at work yesterday yet every last one of the adults never could get off the PVS or coma or brain dead hoopla. There is hope because the teens I taught last year still ask me about Terri and are concerned. I was discussing it with one of them yesterday after school and several came up to hear the news. Teens can be airheads about many things, but they are not closed minded and cold hearted as adults apparently are.
Your stories are just horrible. We need to form some sort of grass roots organization to stop these atrocities after we help Terri.
