All the more tragic. Her parents and supporters did all we could do. We miss Terri.
So sad
I wish I could have done something to save her life. But the forces of evil were hell bent on killing her and God let it happen. I believe Terri is in Heaven now. God does let evil happen to good people, I don’t know why, but it is nothing compared to eternal joy of living with him.
“won a court order to take her live “
Her “live?”
Amazingly the note DOES NOT express any desire to be murdered in the cruelest manner imaginable.
What if Terry really DID tell Michael she wanted him to ensure she did not exist in that state?
My wife and I updated our wills last week and we now (finally) have our living wills in place. I have let my wife know, in no uncertain terms, that a "Schiavo-like" non-responsive state requiring IV feeding will be the end for me. Both she and I will allow doctors (more than one) do what they can for 1 month. That's it.
I've also informed my parents of our decision. I pray the courts stay out of my death if it comes to that.
My death will be traumatic enough for the family, I don't want my life immediately preceding my death to also be a continuous financial burden. I didn't work my whole life to provide for my family just to become a burden at the end.
No offense to the Freepers who advocated the state interfering with the Schiavo case as I agree it wasn't so straight forward, but . . . hopefully I've ensured that no one, regardless of their intent, can stop my wife from 'pulling the plug' on me when the time comes.
The sad truth is that Terri was murdered (starved and dehydrated to death) by her estranged and unfaithful “husband” with complicity by our federal and state court system. May she rest in the peace of God’s love and may her parents and siblings be comforted in Mary’s embrace.
