you know I know that losing a loved one is hard, I know that. I know it’s a crappy fact of life that it ends but it does. Yes it’s not completely fair when one person only gets 10 years on this earth while an asshole like Fred Phelps gets several decades more. However no one ever said that life was fair and when it deals you a crappy hand then you just half to accept it like everyone else. Just on a personal note don’t tell me that when life throws you lemons just make lemonade. whoever coined that phrase should be put to an old fashioned draw and quartering.
When it gets sad is when a person can not accept the fact that their loved one is either gone or going to be gone very rapidly. A example there’s a woman that my local paper has been reporting on for the last couple of days that can not accept the fact that her husband is going to die no matter what. Her keeping him alive waiting for a miracle cure is not only futile it’s down right cruel. More than one doctor has told her that nothing they do is going to matter her husband is never going to recover. She rejects that reality and substitutes it with her own.
She believes that his dementia is not caused by his advanced age (He’s in his 80’s for Christ sakes) but due to swelling at the base or top of his spine and the doctors have misdiagnosed him. The doctors assured her the odds of that would be in the millions. She insisted that they preform the very invasive test to which the doctors replied that the test would most likely kill him. The man’s organs are shutting down due to his condition (I forget what it is) does she buy that for a moment Hell no She says it’s caused by a infection in his liver (thanks webmd) and that aggressive treatment is called for. the guys that went to medical school assured her that it was not the case and that her husband would not recover. Well it of course ended up in court. Under oath this woman admitted to the court that her husband had put with his OWN hand that he did NOT WANT TO BE KEPT ALIVE WITH MACHINES! She conveniently forgot those pages when she admitted him to the hospital. Remember this guy is in his 80’s how much time are we really fighting for here.
Look the sad fact is that we die it sucks but everyone has there time. I feel for her that she doesn’t want to lose the love of her life but what good is a husband that’s basically has the same activity as a house plant? When it’s over it’s over remember the good times and let your husband go in peace
