  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

Bobbi Kristinas organs are shutting down…and I’m wondering when she’ll go.

Very few parents, even crackheads who were questionable caregivers, respond with unmitigated zeal and glee at the prospect of their children dying, rotting in the ground, and never waking again. It does not take religion for false hope to thrive under such conditions.
 
^ But if the child dies, the parents deal with the death. If the child survives but is technically dead (cannot live without life support), the parents are keeping the child alive for their own selfish reasons. They are not doing it for the child.

grief is radically and profoundly selfish. when my grandmother died had i been given the choice of keeping her suspended in pseudo-life ad eternam i would have; not because i'm grotesque and need a bunch of shitty preaching from internet homosexuals, but because it felt like i had been hit by a train; i found myself bargaining with the Virgin Mary when my grandmother died, for an actual resurrection. I was not twelve and was probably more certain then that God didn't exist than I am now, but magical thinking is a natural part of the process of loss. I am watching my other grandmother (we start with two, unless of course your parents are siblings) begin her transition and I'm certain that I'll be just as crazy and irrational at that time too.

Mr Brown, the Schiavo's, that black couple with the 13 year old daughter whose brain death they refuse to accept, etc none of these people are being evil, or inappropriate, they are being wild, selfish, half-mad, unmanageable, and difficult because death comes and steals that which we love best. And I'm certain--from watching both my grandmothers lose children--that that sense of the radical unfairness, arbitrariness, and unrealness of death is all the stronger when a) there's still a warm body b) it's your child.
 
I'm SURE some remember this trial, here in NYC, I was riveted by it, and it was the movie Reversal Of Fortune, so re the legnth of this poor girl's vegatative state, if the Fam has money, well:
"Mrs. von Bülow, who was 76, had been in a coma for nearly 28 years. Sunny von Bülow in 1976, four years before she entered a coma that led to two trials for her second husband, Claus von Bülow, for attempted murder, trial on Feb. 9, 1982."

If it were your daughter would you be able to make the decision of ending her life? They are living in hope and it's easy for us to say what we think should have done but we are not the ones who have to accept her death.

I have 2 children ages 13 & 15. It would be a horrific decision to make but I would have ended life support a long time ago. I've also made this decision when my father collapsed at a football game. The paramedics got his heart started again but his brain was dead. We could have kept his body alive with a ventilator but we decided to let him go peacefully. I was a paramedic for over 15 years. I've seen these patients languish in a long term nursing facility. They suffer from painful bed sores or constant infections due to tubes being an open source for bacteria to get in. They constantly get pneumonia because they cant cough and clear their own secretions. If you think the care a person receives in a nursing home is stellar you're mistaken. Most days the patient lies in bed and is turned every couple of hours to prevent bed sores. That's their existence. lying in bed, waiting to die. If it were my daughter I would have donated her organs so others may live and I would have let her die without enduring a long, slow death.

It could be greed that keeps them holding on or more likely guilt for decades of their own wrongdoing. Guilt is a huge motivator, so is greed.
 
Some parents can't except that their child will not recover and even though their dead they have to make the hard decision of turning the machine off. They will come to their senses eventually. But i think they are living in false hope at this point.

Truth is their probably in denial and grieving.
