I’m betting they spent several years doing that. So I don’t want to fault the parents too much. At some point “waiting for death” just becomes too draining. How many years can you wait for that death?
I’m not excusing them, just saying that I will not join in castigating them for what appears to be a hopeless situation.
I thank God I’ve never had to deal directly with such a situation.
Just ask Michael Schiavo.
