i gotta say, not to be heartless, mom couldnt stay with daughter

[seabeyond]

too heart breaking. i am telling you, as a mom, i dont think you could pry me away, i dont care how heart breaking. i would be holding hand, i would be singing soft songs, touching and carressing

i just cant help but say as a mom, for a mom to be able to walk out, and not be there in this, just feels like it isnt about terri's experience it is about mom. and mom will never be able to convince her spirit that she did this well. sent her daughter off. feels like she is setting self up for continued loss and pain

just an interesting thought in the experience of death

1. For all fifteen years?

She essentially died during Bush41, to finally be allowed to be buried during Bush43.

4. no, the losing the last breath

her passing. experiencing and being with her as she goes. we all experience this our way. be it live in this, or not. i could only talk about the way i would experience this, having gone thru death with loved ones myself. i may also have not such a fearful view of death. it isnt scary to me. i would want to be with her now. not be appalled by her appearance and have to leave

have been listening to a lot of people who have gone thru this with their loved ones. and truly the most graceful experience feels to be with loved ones that are their with this person, until last breath. there is a stillness that everyone i listen to go to
i was just thinking out loud. may not be the place to talk this experience. not about the political, or agenda

2. It was pretty shocking to hear that she threw up...

when she walked into her daughter's room for possibly the last visit. Then having to leave immediately...makes ya wonder.

3. you think she could be trusted?

If they hadn't been so totally antagonistic and threatening to their son-in-law, and generated this whole sad situation, then she could be by her daughter's side. The actions of Ms. Schiavo's parents are the very reason why they can't be by her side.
