It is because I could only imagine if it were my daughter that I formed an opinion about Mrs. Schlinder. There are times that our own suffering must be secondary to our duties as parents. Terri was aware at the end and all she knew was that her mother wasn't with her when she needed her most. I'm sorry if that's harsh, but Mrs. Schlinder should have found a way to be there, even if it meant that she'd have to take tranquilizers to make herself go.

I agree with you - we have to put aside ourselves and do what has to be done. Wish she could have done so. I wonder if she was there some from something that was said on the H&C interview where she mentioned she had to whisper in her ear because the cops were in there with them and would stand close when anyone was near Terri (to be sure no water or comfort given I presume).
