“A priest speaking on EWTN said that he was present at her death, and that her husband lied about it being a peaceful death. He said it was horrible.”

I wish more people knew how horrible dehydrating a person who is not dying, is, so they won’t allow medical people to talk them into doing this to their loved oes.

Well, you know, Sun, the doctors tell the family, “Your Dad has lived a long life, and he wouldn’t want you to keep him alive and cause you extra grief and expense. Why don’t you just let us stop the hydration?” And the family believes the doctor.
