Ed:

You did the right thing....sometimes the hardest thing to do is let someone we love dearly die.

I have a living will that will save me from this ordeal, but if I didn't, I would hope my spouse would allow me to die rather than live in such a manner.

Well said. My wife and I have one as well. I feel that Terry's parents are merely selfish and refuse to let her move on.

I have told my spouse (and my children) that I don't want to be starved or dehydrated to death (they have expressed the same to me) and my husband and I also agreed that we would leave the decision on everything else to each other. He said the most selfless thing I have ever heard when we were discussing it. He told me that if I needed to keep him on machines or whatever for MY peace of mind, that it was ok with him. Of course, he is an extraordinary person.
