I took care of my father when he was dying of cancer...we carried him to rooms and and cleaned up after him when he could not do so himself, so please don't tell me I don't know what it's like to take care of someone. But when it was time to go, I let him go with some of his dignity, because I KNOW he did not want to live that way. To keep him around because I loved him so much would have been incredibly selfish. And I loved him way too much to do that to him.

I am sorry you lost your father to a terminal illness.

Brain damage is not a terminal illness.

No matter what you or he may have done to prolong his life he would of died from the ravages of cancer.

Your father made a decision and you respected that at a time when his illness had progressed.

What is being communicated on this thread is Teri has chosen life.

My objective is to pray for Teri. I do not care about the husbands opinion or her families. Only her will to live counts. Her choice.
