I have questions that will never be answered about her "quality" of life. I don't want to trigger anyone at all. The thing is I saw tapes of her smiling and tracking loved ones. That made me feel she was in there. It did not appear on tv at least that she was in a vegatative state. Otherwise how could she track and respond? Maybe she told hubby if this ever happens I want to die. I don't know. I do know that in my terminal care document I address that disability does not mean loss of quality of life. It doesn't mean one can't share a joy, a hug, a smile. It is a very big issue and my prayer is for peace for all who have cared so deeply. It is over. What can we learn?
