I will NEVER forget what happened to Terri and how MS was allowed to let her die. I have had people say to me "I wouldn't want to live that way". How do they know, they aren't "that way" yet. I have told my family that I want to live any way God wants me to live. They also know NOT TO STARVE AND DEHYDRATE ME.
CORRECTION- Let her die meant to say killed her.
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!
