You and I think the same way! LOL - we must have had the same conversations with our families. Fortunately, my family has seen for themselves what a "good" way to die is when my father passed away three years ago. We all took care of him in his last days. We all took turns so as to get our rest and nourishment, but he was never left by himself for one second, in case he had something he wanted to say, or in case he wanted anything (which was almost always a sip of water or a cool washcloth on his forehead). We surrounded him with prayer several times a day, and he got to spend precious time with his friends who were able to visit. We were truly blessed! It was a perfect model to follow for future health difficulties, especially those that might end in death.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of when Terri's feeding tube was removed. I cannot forget!
Outside of Hospice we were waiting for a hero but all we got was one coward after another who could have saved Terri but made false promises one day and then slammed everyone the next!
Judge Greer had plenty of time to stop any rescue because Jebbie telegraphed to Greer through the media that he was coming round the mountain.
All a ruse. Nobody was coming. Terri was suffering and died.
On Jeb's watch and on his big brother's watch.
What a wonderful, inspiring story. Thanks for posting it. I only wish The Schindler's had the same opportunity with their daughter. Not that she was dying, but you know what I mean.
