In reply to the discussion: Family Is ‘Devastated’ After a Hospital Removes Their 2-Year-Old Son from Life Support Against Their [View all]NoGoodNamesLeft
(2,056 posts)It sounds like the hospital was in too big of a rush to remove life support. This would have prevented any family from being able to actually go through the grieving process and accept the diagnosis and make the decision on their own. They were told in May that their son was brain dead and they immediately started pushing for removal of life support. Instead of allowing that family to grieve and accept the situation and let go on their own terms they were backed into a corner and forced to focus on defending their son instead of peacefully saying goodbye and letting him go. What the hospital did (and the court) is quite disgusting and cruel. That family has most likely been permanently traumatized and will probably never be able to fully grieve the loss of their child.
