re: But this highly public struggle is usually private, faced daily by American families, in hushed hospital rooms and hospices, at the bedsides of children, spouses and parents. It is an agonizing decision that can tear loved ones apart, or bring them closer; that can leave even those with written directives questioning their choices, their faith, themselves. I've been there, done that. When a relative was starving to death, the same as Mrs. Schiavo, but in much better condition. I very precisely knew the persons wishes, yet at one point I broke down and said to start feeding and hydrating. The great Hospice folks took my aside and very bluntly told me what my responsibility was, and gave me the courage to not intervene. I've been on both sides of the issue as my mother was dying, and I don't wish it on anyone. God bless all of Terri's family members. John
