  1. Just wondering, if any of you were in the same place as Terri Schiavo –

    No, let us put this different, as Terri can not speak for herself now.

    If you were completely paralyzed, could not speak, eat, move, nothing, nothing at all, and this was forever. Forever is a very long time.

    What would you want?

    Before you answer think long and hard.

    I tell you what you would not want and that is the government telling you or your family or your doctors what it wanted!

    Think about it for a while before you make a hasty comment. Why?

    Because life has its way of showing peoples the true reality of things.

  2. Suzanne, I can tell you that until a person is in that position, I don’t think they really know what they would want. However, as a Mother and a Mother-in-law, I can tell you as long as I thought my children (no matter the age) had a chance, I would want them alive. Paritcularly if the person calling the shots had moved on to another woman and children by that woman. The government was not telling them what they wanted, believe me. But, on the other hand, if Michael, really and truly thought that was what she wanted, she was, after all, his wife legally. But I don’t think any of us, unless we have actually been there ourselves, can make a definite decision as to what we would do. Life has a funny way of sometimes, making us a little sorry of making those decisions until we actually experience it.

  3. I am a Mother and Grand Mother also Bonnie Now let me tell you something. There is no way in this world I would allow my Daughter to suffer in that way. I know her mind I know her wishes and I would follow them through no matter how it hurt me.
    See Bonnie, it is those who are left behind that suffer, not the one who leaves. This entire thing is about easing the suffering of those left behind and forgetting about the one who has The Right to Either Live or to Die.
    Think about what you are protecting as a Mother.
    Your childs pain? Your childs misery? Or, are you protecting yourself from the hurt of loosing a child.

    Love the strongest kind of love not only holds near, but also is capable of letting go.

  4. Suzanne,You missed my point! The point I was making, was that it doesn’t matter what the parents want if the person is married, the spouse has the final say even if it goes against what we parents want. Terri’s parents thought they saw a glimmer of something in Terri that wanted to keep her alive. So regardless of what you say you would do, there is only so much that parents can do once their child has a spouse. And frankly, I think it is just a really good to remind us all that we should make those wishes known while we can but in writing. But you sure come back “hot headed ” in your response to me.

  5. Sorry about that Elise! I was not using your name in vain, I just accidently put your name in place of mine, because I was thinking about you & was going to ask how you feel about this. You and I usually have about the close to the same opinion on things & I guess you, Suzanne and I are the only Moms on here. Again, I am sorry and not trying to put words in your mouth.

  6. No big! I just think that is all too complicated and none of us knows the real truth.

  7. I just think this not an easy thing, and that we don’t know all the facts, so I will bow out of this discussion. Thank you!

  8. Else,
    You are so right, and yes, we might be the only Moms on this site.
    But as this is so complicated, and yes I could not have stated that better.
    My main point is not as to which decision should be made, this is only for the family, no one else.
    My point was, should this happen either to me or to you or to anyone, and by God I pray it does not.
    The the decision belongs with only, and I caps the ONLY THE FAMILY not the government,
    This is a person family decision and the government has not place in this issue, none no way no how never, and I would fight to the death to keep the governement out of such a personal decision.

  9. Oh and Else, I did not mean to be hot headed to you, I was hot headed at the govenment interference in this sad sad family sorrow.
    Please forgive, never would be hot headed to another Mother

  10. I think it was right for them to kill her. Terry was like that for 15 freaking years! If there was any chance of saving her, it passed by long ago.
