Re: Should Bobby Brown say goodbye?

First of all, none of us here is privy to her medical details. Secondly, I think it's disrespectful to her and her family to characterize them as refusing to "move on". There is no larger public health issue in her situation and I don't think we need to be passing judgment on her or her family.

It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.

Doctors say that nothing can be done...she is gone...yet he refuses to remove life support.

Sounds like the case of the brain dead girl in CA. Bobbi Kristina has 10 million dollars. Should that money go to keeping her on life support?

Yeah or nay?

it doesn't sound anything like that at all!!!

and no parent would be in a rush to do something like this.

Gee, I kinda think it's his business, not anyone else's.

it's not up to any of us to decide. i respect whatever decision the family makes.

This is every parent's worst nightmare.

Poor chose of words. One does not just move on from a child's death...one takes a bit to prepare, gather ones thoughts, except the inevitable and then hopefully does what is right for the family....this is recent it may take a bit of time. Also as time goes by everything will sink in.

My uncle died at 68 of a stroke (he had previously had brain surgery and was in poor health).

The hospital kept him on life support for 3 extra days so his siblings could fly in to say goodbye. He was brain dead.

The bill to Medicare was astronomical.

Afterwards, his wife said she NEVER would do that again...she wished she had turned off the machines earlier.

This happens frequently and is one of the reasons our healthcare costs are out of sight.

Don't we need to learn to accept death???

I've seen people who were able to face the reality of a hopeless situation head on.

Others have a hard time and it takes them longer to come to grips with it.

No matter what, it's always a painful decision even if we accept death as a natural part of life.

Thank you ladies for your kind responses.

Our Emma Grace was a few days away from her first birthday when she developed meningitis. It was very quick, hence the need for life support.

During those few days our DIL was terribly sick, She learned she was pregnant; it turned out to be twins. (one of each variety) That pregnancy is what kept her and our son from going off the deep end.

We now have 4 Grands. (all 3 girls have Grace as a middle name) Hopefully 2015 will bring an addition to our family as our son and his wife are in the process of an overseas adoption.
