She finally died. May she rest in peace. I hope her parents will grieve and won't file lawsuits.

Oh goodness I hope you're right. I hope they let her go with the dignity she deserves instead of fighting Michael Schiavo with lawsuits.

I guess the next battle is where to bury her. In this case, I hope Michael decides to let her parents bury her with their family instead of with his family. It would be the right thing to do.

Now she can finally rest in peace.

Yup, don't think that the battle is over, it's really just begun. I hope Michael allowed her parents to be there, I really do.

I just feel like we need to see a flattering happy picture of her right now, not that one they keep showing on t.v.

WTF? What's with this non-stop coverage of her death? Nobody in this country gives a rats ass about the quakes in Indonesia?!? Get a life or at least move on from her death.

Now they are going to continue this case until her autopsy is complete. That won't prove anything because the naysayers will interpret the report in their own way or say the doctors lied if it's unfavorable to their cause. Go back to your trailer park homes and find something better to do with your time...

Praise the Lord

GREAT article discussing what we've learned from the Schiavo case.

I'll echo what myself and many others have already said: please, please put your wishes in writing so that there is at least one good thing to come of this mess.

You know there'll be a bunch of lawsuits, but what are they going to accomplish? She's dead. But they're going to continue to fight over it forever. Wasting money and tying up the court system. And for what? They're not going to bring her back. Oh wait, with their psychic abilities when it comes to medicine, maybe they will

Does anyone else think that following the coroner's van with her body to the ME's office with a helicopter ala OJ's bronco chase is a bit macabre???

WAY too over the top....

Rest in Peace, Terrie, you are free from your pergatory and home at last.

Every time I hear or read anything about this it just makes me sick. I think it's horrible that she was alive in her situation for 15 years, but good Lord, she was alive. I truly believe this was murder. I don't understand why her husband just didn't divorce her and let her parents do what they wanted with her. It might be stupid of them to hold onto hope that she would recover, but that's their choice. Give up your hold over her and get on with your family. Yuck.

From this week's Newsweek, in regards to the 2000 trial:

Quote:

In the course of the trial, the Schindlers also made what a court-appointed guardian for Terri deemed "horrific" and "gruesome" comments - that the family would never remove Terri's feeding tube even if she had asked them to, and that even if she developed gangrene, the family would amputate her limbs to keep her alive.

Interesting.

Scary and obsessive are more along the lines I think.

May she finally rest in peace. But I also agree that that lawsuits will go on and on after the burial... or scattering of ashes...

Sad times.

I truly think that he was doing what Terri wanted. What else could explain this man putting himself through this mess? He has news outlets slamming him and people hating him, why would he go through all this if he didn't give a damn about the woman? If he didn't care I think he would have left when it got hot, but he didn't, I gotta admire him for that.

If my husband truly told me that that's not how he wanted to live, there's nothing you, the government, or anyone else on this earth could say or do to stop me from fulfilling his wish. That's why I believe the husband when he says that that's what she wanted.

Absolutely....he did whatever he could to honor her last wish (as he believed it) no matter the cost to him, and that is what I would do for my husband and would want him to do for me.

That's a very one-sided opinion since you can't understand his side after he clearly stated this is what she would have wanted. You are picturing it as the husband vs. the parents, but her name was Terri Schiavo, not Terri Schindler when she passed away.

Maybe it's so difficult to understand because deep down you don't want to admit he was really doing the right thing. If you want to use strong words like murder, maybe you should get all the facts first. Death does not always equal murder.

Within a couple months, nobody here will care about this story or her family, this is the flavor of the month for your entertainment pleasure. Soak it up and pretend you care about this person you never met. In reality, this was just a pathetic attempt to invade a person's private matters.
