Terri Schiavo Dies

After an exhaustive battle between her husband and her family, intrusion by the federal government, media coverage, raising questions about US regulation, and possibly a new meaning or nuance for "pro-life" and "pro-choice", Terri Schiavo finally died. It's a pity she never had a chance to welcome the angel of death in an appropriate condition: her loved ones gathering together around her bed, praying for her, comforting her. And it is shockingly disgusting to watch that even after her death, this family feud remains present with both sides brawling over her ashes.

Isn't it ironic that those who are supposed to provide you the most enjoyable journey toward eternity are instead cursing and stabbing on each other? I strongly believe that Terri, as much physically unconscious she might have been for seven years, could somehow sense the bitterness and hatred around her.

May the Divine One bestow upon her soul peace and serenity.

jones, i would've agreed with you that perhaps this whole catfight is manifestation of love, should other issues have never occured, e.g. another woman with HIS children? while i somehow value his honesty, and understand that he's entitled to moving on with his life, he could've done it with a less confronting (and hurting) way.
