Schiavo's Final Moments Remind Me Of Abuelita

If you've been here, you've been here and you're here again. The scene described here is what it looks like friends. Death is common, and is the destiny of us all, I'm now realizing how even the most private of moments, as when I was with my grandmother together with her 5 children and Rachelle for the last 15 mns of her life, is so similar to Terri Schiavo's Final Moments With Husband:

"Michael Schiavo cradled his wife as she clutched a stuffed tabby cat under one of her horribly contracted arms. Looking on were Felos, another attorney, Michael Schiavo's brother, Brian, and several of the hospice workers who had cared for her during her five-year stay there.

A bouquet of white lilies and roses perfumed the room.

Around 9 a.m., Terri Schiavo was dead. Her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, were not on the hospice grounds. "
