I hope her money grubbin husband is happy :wah:
Her money grubbing husband who was offered 10 MILLION DOLLARS to simply walk away from the case and refused? The one who spent SEVEN YEARS looking for a cure for his wife before finally being convinced it was hopeless?

Learn all the facts before commenting please.

Farewell, Terri. Godspeed.

[*Rain*]

I just hope she is at peace now. I agree that this should never happen again.

My thoughts are with her family.

Thanks for saying that Ben, I feel really bad for ALL of her loved ones, who have been demonized by one side or another during this whole ugly ordeal....I know absolutely KNOW what my husband would want in this situation, and personally, NO matter what any other family member said, I would fight to fulfill his wishes even to the point of receiving death threats if necessary. I think both her husband and her parents BELIEVED that they were doing what she wanted and we will never know what SHE really wanted, I hope her next/further existence is a much more peaceful one.

[Boogins]

Agreed, Twig, agreed, Ben T. Thank the gods it's over for Terri.

[LadyTrinity]

She was a beautiful girl _pounce_

I hope her money grubbin husband is happy :wah:

The Husband did all he thought he could. Yes, he did not use any of the 100,000 for Terri, but he spent many years searching for a cure for her. I know theirs a lot of people who do not like him... :whatgives

Well I hope Terri is all right, wherever she is.

[Shadowulfe]

May the lord and lady grant Terri peace and tranquility

may both the parents and the husband come to peaceful terms knowing that Terri is in a better place.

Goddess Bless,

[SilentDreams]

I'm not sad at all.

I'm acctually happy that she's finally free. I hope she's now able to enjoy whatever form of existence she has now. I'm sorry for the family, I hope they can finally start to move on as well.

[catphrodite]

peace and comfort to the soul of Terry Schiavo, blessed journey, sweet release.

[FaerieLuma]

May her soul be in peace now that she is free.

[Illuminatus]

My karma has peaked, so it is time for me to burn some of it off. Here goes.

I'm sick of people using this vegetable for their own political gain. The media feeds on this story like leeches, because nothing else newsworthy is happening at the moment. They're vultures, these reporters and politicians, and I for one am glad that Terri died. Not because I care about her or her family, but because I'm sick of hearing about her. Tom DeLay buried himself under this issue like it was some kind of bunker, as if this would sheild him from his ethical shortcomings. All this "Culture of Life" crap is a smokescreen, trying to divert you from noticing that the republicans are laughing all the way to the bank while the world burns, if you'll excuse my mixed metaphors. But now that she's gone thank god, we've only got one more round of lawsuits (wrongful death and some civil suits), two at the most, to endure before this whole affair goes away and the news stations scramble for some other crap to ram to saturate my life with. Show me Michael Jackson again showing up to court in his pajamas and mask, that was kind of funny. This poor woman was a victim of her own stupidity, what with her throwing up until it 99% killed her. Someone in this thread said she was beautiful. Well, she nearly killed herself to make herself look that way. Sometimes during this whole affair I wished I was a doctor there in florida so I could help her shuffle off her mortal coil with my bare hands, just so the both of us could have a minute of peace!

[DragonsChest]

wow. I guess you accomplished your goal.

[Illuminatus]

wow. I guess you accomplished your goal.

I was born with a shortage of popular opinions. I view it more as a challenge than a handicap.

You know I was agreeing and even understanding your point. Until I read this tripe. You truly did want to shave off karma. At first I thought you were joking but oh no, you were dead serious. You purposley said this too piss of people. Well I'm sure your little plan will work. I would indulge you but I see through your sick little game. You'll just have to find some other way to piss me off if you want my help.

WOW...harsh words...I won't send you any negative karma because you are entitled to the way you feel..hey even I was getting tired of hearing about it but to actually say she was stupid because she had an eating disorder??? That my friend is a disease a problem that is very VERY difficult to overcome...she was beautiful...you can't take that away from her..sick or not. I think you could have conveyed your oppinion in a much softer way..you didn't need to be so cold about it..

Well, she nearly killed herself to make herself look that way. Sometimes during this whole affair I wished I was a doctor there in florida so I could help her shuffle off her mortal coil with my bare hands, just so the both of us could have a minute of peace!I agree pretty much with the comments about the media and the poticians, but I have a problem with the "stupidity" comment. Some people do have a disorder having to do with body image, and others have an eating disorder. These are medical disorders, not stupidity. Enough of that.

8 years ago I watched my grandmother make the decision that she wasn't going to struggle against her cancer any longer (after a 10 year nightmare of treatments and failing health). At some point the body stops wanting food or water, following which there is a slow and peaceful drifting further away from life and the world.

I watched the same process 6 years ago with my mother. She had been sick for a couple of years but no one had been able to locate the cancer that spread throughout her body until it reached her brain and paralyzed one side of her face. She could tell that it was too late for current medical treatment to heal her and she also choose to drift away.

Family members disagreed about the choice she made, and my father could have made a case for her mental state and asked for her to be kept alive, but he respected her choice. It's nothing like the dramatic tv shows with a last-minute rally and a few special words for the loved one at the bedside. With both Gramma and Mom I could tell about 48 hours before the actual death that the spirit had already left. The autonomic body systems were still going, but eventually without the spirit and the brain to lead them, they shut down. We were still turning the body every few hours for comfort, but I could tell it wasn't important anymore.



May the spirit of Terri find her way to it's resting place from this journey.
May her family and friends find peace and comfort, and acceptance.

Quite obviously some people don't bother to read thru a whole thread before posting. What a shame this couldn't be a place of remembrance and condolance.....

[Illuminatus]

Well, consider Terri's thoughts on the matter. The whole *problem* that caused this whole mess was that she could not keep any food down in the first place. That was the cause of her heart attack. So, doesn't it logically follow that the person who refused nourishment while she was active in life would not want nourishment forced upon her shell of a body later in life?

[Illuminatus]

Quite obviously some people don't bother to read thru a whole thread before posting. What a shame this couldn't be a place of remembrance and condolance.....

Well in my defense my post was supposed to be in the other thread before somebody merged them. So I blame Ben T!!!! Besides, if you want to have a sacred space to memorialize the dead where nobody else can reply or post stuff you don't like, we already have a forum for that, it's the Altar of the Ancients I think.

Rest In Peace, Terri Schiavo *puts little tribute in LJ*

[wooleybob]

May you be at your peace Terri,no more suffering.For Spring has come and so shall all things bloom in beauty,and so shall a new life be born for you.As you have come from the Great Mother Earth,She welcomes you back to her with her arms wide open,for there shall be no more pain,and no more tears to be shed,only your flesh has died in our eyes,but your true spirit will forever live,for death is not a ending,but a new life where ever it is to be reborn again, with peace and beauty.

[PoisonIvy]

Rest well Terri!!!

Blessed Be!

[wintermagick]

:2G: I never really stood one way or the other on this issue... it was horrible what her husband did, yet the life she had left was abomidable too.

My she be happier where she is now and I pray that someday her parents will be reunited with her.

:hearthear Welcome Home Terri :hearthear


Ok I know Twig just wants well wishes but Ben merged the threads ( that is part of his job )

So I have a reply to this comment ....

I agree somewhat about it is good she is gone ... but more so for me cuz her suffering is at an end .... not to get the media frenzy over with .... I do however strongly disagree that she was stupid .... she was ill and fell victim to her illness ... some pick drinking or drugs.. Terri had her eating disorder... I do however think she lacked responsibility for not having a living will or any will for that matter as it has seemed to be stated ... As soon as I bought my home I took that step and got both a living will and a regular will for such events that my wishes will be carried out by my family .... not my family wishes will be carried out for my life cuz they think that is what I want or they just want me around ... I have left very detailed instructions on what to do in certain cases ... it is filed in my home and with my law office ... what I find really sad is we treat our animals and our criminals better and more humanely in their time of need we do not make them suffer ... Terri should not had to die without her dignity by starving to death ..... She simply should have been aloud to sleep with her angels :hugz:

[Gala]

She is quiet now ...not because she is in a coma, but because her "being" is at peace.
She is still with her family more than she has been for the past 7 years.

[Strega Del Vento]

Had to comment on this one. All of my beliefs about the case aside, I pray that Terri has the peace and happiness now that she couldn't have in this life. I envision her running free, beautiful as ever, shining down on all who love her.

Terri passed away the same day we were due to leave RI, and my whole day was pretty much clouded because of it. Due to other reasons, <coughdamnuhaulcough> we didn't officially get on the road until Friday. My mind was on her the entire day though, and my heart was with her family.

Shine on, Terri. Your light shall never fade.
