QuoteDid you also see that Mr Wonderful denied her family access during her last hour alive?
I don't blame him. I don't agree with it, but I can't blame him.
They made his life hell, called him every name in the book, claimed he beat her, abused her, blamed him for her condition....ect.
I think it would have been nice of him to let them see her, but I don't blame him for not letting them one bit.

We have no idea what was being said from either party. I know from experience, when I had to deal with my children's father's death, his damn family was nothing but a pain in my ass. I denied them access to the room when Jack had to be taken off life support. That was our time.

I don't blame him one bit. He has a right to spend his wife's last hours with her, and knowing what her parents have done so far, they would have tried something (like rescuscitation.)
I am glad this is finally over, and am impressed that Michael Schiavo acted as an advocate for his wife's wishes and defended them against all those who wanted to use her for their own purposes. I think this world would be a better place if there were more people like him, willing to endure death threats, public approbation, and media slander to make sure his dying wife's wishes are carried out - and to stick to his guns for 15 years.

My mother has permission and it is my wish for her (or someone) to shoot to kill anyone that would prevent her from seeing me on my death bed.
He had already moved on with his life along time ago, got a girlfriend and some kids from someone else. Now that sounds like true love and compassion.

The ACLU took his side and wanted her dead, but it would have been a very different situation had she been a convicted murderer on death row.

Stuck to his guns? He has a girlfriend and kids with another woman. Was that part of her wishes. Was denying her family access to her on her death bed part of her wishes?

That is your wish at this time. But till you have been put in a situation like I was in, you have no idea if your feelings would change.

Again, you have no idea what was discussed between the married couple. There are times in a relationship when you have a conversation with your mate, and the subject is brought up that you want your mate to go on with their life and re-marry if something were to happen to them. Do you not believe that Michael and Terri did not have that discussion? We will never know.

1) It had a major foundation for a good story - conflict. Right vs. Left, Family vs. Family, and the ultimate and final conflict of Live vs. Death.
2) It had Resonance. People can relate because it has happened to them or someone they know.
3) It got "legs" - during a time of not much else going on, it was pushed to the front of the news. (see # 1 & 2 above for why) Once it was out there a few times, it "got legs" - became a big story that could stand on it's own.
Interesting I thought.

She left this planet 15 years ago. The only things left to do at that point were a) make sure there was nothing else anyone could do for her (which he did for 8 years) and b) carry out her final wishes with respect to her body.
>Was denying her family access to her on her death bed part of her wishes?
In his judgement, yes. When a man and woman are married, they in many ways become one person - and each can then speak for the other.

I watched my father die, had I been denyed access by anyone - there would have been a big problem. I love my mother, those wishes won't change.
You don't know either what conversations this "couple" had. We only know what HE says.

Take charge of your life by taking charge of your death. Don't be afraid to let your wishes be known -and binding.
I loved the SouthPark - have it TiVo'd.
