Inkerdoodler Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Watching a tv episode and falling apart is like an opportunity for therapy. We might not "want to" fall apart, but I think sometimes it gives us permission to just let all those emotions out. I think it was courageous of them to show the experience of having to make the decision to remove life support... or not put them on life support (DNR order). It's a reality so many of us have had to deal with, but nobody ever really prepares you for it. It's such a personal decision, and often family members aren't able to come to agreement about the decision. My family has been through it twice in the past year with my husband and his sister, and it's the most heart-wrenching decision in the world. We have to go on knowing that the decision spared our loved one from additional suffering. Let the tears flow... it's cathartic. Sandy F.
