Thank you for the support for the last post. I found out from my sister-in-law last night that there is no higher brain function in her mom. They plan to take her off life support but there is not telling how long she will survive.
It really brought me back to February and having to make that decision. Then you don't know how long a person will survive. D's body is, like Stella's was, healing but her brain is damaged and there is no returning from this damage.
You don't want to wish for the end but it's painful to see someone you love in such a situation. You wonder if they're in pain. You wonder if they're even there. Is a person's soul still there if their brain has stopping functioning? Do they know their family is there?
I often wondered that with Stella. Did she know we were there? Did she know we never left her side? Did she hear us? Did she feel us?
Merry Christmas, eh?
