(28,789 posts)and can only imagine that terrible task...my son and i went to the hospital the next day to see Bekah, but were persuaded not to. i am glad for that, and our decision was validated in many different ways by different people.
i have recovered to a huge extent, probably as much as i ever will. she's with me. she's dead. life goes on. it's been 13 years since she died. 13 years tomorrow that is. so she's on my mind somewhat more, and somewhat more mournfully, than usual.
i begin to doubt that there are enough empathetic, caring, respectful people - people who recognize the innate humanity and worth of each and every one of us - to bring the world around to peace. i am convince that it will never happen in my lifetime. if the earth and humanity survive, i maintain hope that one day we will evolve and make it real.
