Our prayers are with you.

First let me say you are in my families prayers.

Not to seem uncaring but you might want to take your 4 year old granddaughter and do something that your wife wanted to do with her. This might not help with what your feeling right now but it should keep your wife's dream and plans alive and possibly the way she would want to be remembered

Just my thoughts to help you along on life's bumpy road.

Again sorry if it seems inappropriate, it is not my intention

[s4son]

God bless you and your family. You are all in our prayers.

I didn't reply right off, because I didn't think I could really say anything that could help...
I had a similar experience when my mother died.
For about two months, I was at total peace...
I was the comforter of the family.
My siblings all fell to pieces and I'd stop by their homes and comfort them on a daily basis.
I didn't realize at the time, but I had became filled with the Holy Spirit as I prayed to God as doctors were trying to revive her, asking Him to please take her because she too had the same opinions about being on a life support system.
I asked God that her wishes be met, rather than my selfishness to still have her alive and not loose her.
It was without a doubt, the most intense spiritual experience I have ever had... but the greif did come later on for me and I mourned her death.
Her death led to many changes in my life, for the better and it took every asspect of being agnostic out of my life.

God Bless, Comfort Your Family...

I'm so sorry and God bless your family.

I find myself speechless, and feeling a very strong urge to go hug all of my family. SPR, I lost my mom just a week ago, and that is a wound that is still very raw. I want you to know that your words have been a balm to that wound. I am printing out your post and will carry it in my wallet from now on to remind me of the preciousness of those closest to me.

[southpennrailroad]

I want to let you all know that I read your letters in response to mine and they are very comforting. I really needed this as I get ready for another nights sleep. I pry for everyone who has gone through this sort of pain and for those who will eventually go through it as well. Your words are not swords but a comforting soft pillow to rest the night away.

Thanks

Russ, your and yours are in my prayers. Two years ago I had to make the same decision for my wife after she was a passenger in a car that was hit by a Fire truck. In our case she pulled threw. She had her spleen removed and has had 3 strokes from the blood clots. She had told me before this happened that she didn’t want to live as a vegetable. Everyone please have this talk with your loved ones. Find out what they want to have done. My wife didn’t want the Doctors to try and resuscitate and that was what they were told, fortunately in our case it didn’t come to that. We now cherish every day that we have together.
Best Regards, Dan
