Real Life Decisions

There is a lot of hubris out there about Terri Schiavo. And arguably from both sides of the issue. So I thought it might be useful, or at least instructive, to see how others have dealt with the same basic gut-wrenching decision with respect to members of their own family.

I've ran across two in the blogosphere from just the last few days. Both are gut-wrenchingly honest and without guile.

Bush and Schiavo and my experience at buddenblog tells of the anguish inflicted on the family members when a spouse chose artificial means of maintaining life.

A personal story over at Courting Destiny tells of the flip side... the choice to withdraw artificial means of maintaining life and how that impacted the family.

I applaud both of these women for having the courage to publically post their own very personal experiences.
