Wendy fought the battle of breast cancer for the longest time. She died and was buried before the programme about the last period of cancer was transmitted. What a beautiful programme, I was with her when she had her chemo, I remembered that was how it was. Her husband was simply amazing, and so dignified and full of love. God Bless them both.
If the last three stories have moved you, let them open the debate about death. Most particularly how we deal with it and how we tell children about the process and result. Should we be honest or sugar coat it?
Let us not forget baby OT who died when medication was withdrawn despite the legal battle of their parents. He was nine months old, he was dead by all measure, supported by our machines...he died quickly once it was with drawn so I believe the decision to be correct. But I do not give blanket understanding. We should neither kill nor allow to live for the reasons of financial expedience nor for self centred need. I wonder how many parents fight for their own comfort as for their child. Each decision should be individual....based on scientific fact with a heavy amount of common sense, faith and love.
