      Dick,

      I doubt that I nor anyone else can say anything to ease your sorrow. I had to do the same thing twice, once to my 2 day old son and again much later to my 92 year old mother. Those were the hardest things I ever did in my life, including decisions I had to make during two tours in Nam.

      While you never get over it, and never forget them, your ability to deal with it does get easier, but it takes time, lots of time. Don't be ashamed to seek professional help or the comfort of a support group, they do work.

      I remember feeling angry about why I was singled out to experience this pain and suffering while neither of my loved oned ever did anything to deserve it.

      The only really comfort I can try to give, is that they did live and were part of whatever grand sceme God choose for both them and us. Relish the good times, as short as you may think they were and celebrate you wife's time on earth and the pleasure she gave to you and all the others she touched.

      Believe me, you did the correct thing, we all deserve to leave this world with as much dignity as possible and prolonging a known outcome just make it all that much harder to let go.

      You're a good man, and she was a good women, and that's all that really matters in the end.

      Go with God my friend, and if you feel the need to talk, email me and I'll give you my phone number. Meanwhile, rest assured you did do the right thing.

      I'll pray for you and your wife, if its OK with you for me to do it in Yiddish.

      Call me,

      Bruce

        It's hard to read your message and harder to try and put myself into your situation. Of course you have the thoughts and prayers of everyone...

                    Dick, I'm so sorry for you - there's nothing I can say to make anything better, but you will be in my prayers. May you find solace and peace, knowing you did the right thing and she would thank you.

                        You've been such a kind contributor here, I hope we can at least be of some small help for you now.

                        My deepest condolences,
                        Tom
