Predicto Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Originally posted by skin-n-vegas How many huge fights and violent outbursts came from her parents and simblngs 15 minutes before she died then? Please, all can see how vindictive and cruel this was. Even those who totally disagree with the parents can see that part. Honestly, no I can't. He wanted to be alone with her when she passed. In light of all that has happened, how could he want anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he could have been a major bridge builder and helped everyone come a step closer to healing if he had given them that one small courtesy. Now, if they personally had been rough with him during the other visits (and I suppose they could have been and it wasnt reported, but most likely not) then I could understand the decision. It's another case of "we don't really know the circumstances" so I will try to keep an open mind as well. I keep thinking back to all the loved ones who I have lost after long hospital stays. Everytime we had our whole family from teens all the way up to my 100 yr old gramps in the room supporting them and giving peaceful prayers and words to help them pass. maybe I am personalizing it in context to my own experiences?

Funkyalligator Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 well considering they were essentially calling him a murderer in the press and saying he abused her...neither of which were true you would think that he might be a bit peeved.....he just wanted to be left in peace to mourn the passing of his wife...who's wishes he spent 12 years fighting for....

While I agree that it would have good for him to have done this, I think even Jesus himself might have had a bit of trouble stepping back and being a bridge builder after all that has happened for the past 15 years. You are right - we really cannot know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsNut73 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 There must really be some bad blood between the family and Michael. I mean they went from living together for a couple of years after the incident, to not even able to be in the same room when the girl they love is in her final moments. I'm trying to think what I would have done in that situation, and I think I would have let the mom, dad and siblings have the final moments. Figuring I won "the battle" and I'm going to be taking her body away...I'd probably let the parents have the last moments. ...but man, there must be serious issues between these people... ...guess I'll read about it in the books that will be published now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooma Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 For those that think Micheal was mean in telling the parents to leave you haven't heard the entire story. The actual hospice workers asked the parents to leave so they could do a normal assesment, the father refused and made a big stink about it that the director of the hospice had to ask him to leave, they then had a cop come in and take him out, and he started fighting with the cop. After he left they then saw that Terri was about to die so asked Michael what he wanted, he didn't want a cop in the room and wanted it to be as normal as possible so didn't let the parents back in. If the dad could ever act like a responsible adult, he might have let him in. The parents were with her for a long time before this happened.

Funkyalligator Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Yeah...I heard the same thing....its a shame that the parents couldn't act more rationally....but I'm sure they had prodding from outside influences..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was the brother and sister... They were asked to leave after they went and got the husband 16 minutes before she passed.... To say the Husband was going to let them stay is wrong. The lawyers already tried to work that out and Michael said no... Michael didnt want a cop in the room AHAHAHAH the Lawyer is o.k. though but no cop... So it was micheal somone else, his brother and his lawyer... Sounds peachy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Originally posted by Thiebear WRONG!
