Mon, 21 Feb 2022 22:45:32 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.9 By: Con Fowler /work-in-progress/#comment-736 Mon, 01 Jun 2015 20:56:14 +0000 /?p=336#comment-736 This blog mirrors a lot of the same things and feelings we had with Karen. We really support Lecretia’s campaign, in dire straits it would be nice to have the choice. Karen had considered this option early on, but ultimately every little moment of life left had some joy and fun in it, and our Karen took everything she could from the time she had left. I really feel for you all as I know what you are going through, love and genuine heartfelt good wishes.

God allows us to make choices. I feel comfortable that he has allowed us to find a way for people to die with dignity, to die comfortably, and consciously. Doctors cannot always alleviate the pain. Remember the Bee Gees. The one that died not so long ago was put into a coma in his last days.

Thank you so much.
Big hugs from Clare.

It would be better for the Drs to help alleviate your pain than euthanase you. Kia kaha and pray for help to endure. Arohanui, Huriata
