Blogburst in Memory of Terri Schiavo

From BlogsforTerri, rather than mess it up, I have put Tim's entire post on this below. Terri's tube was removed on Mar 18, 2005, and for the next 13 days, she recieved not one drop of water or an ounce of the formuly/food she had been being fed with.

In these days of Lent, how hard has it been to give up anything, even chocolate, for 40 days?

Imagine having NOTHING for nearly two weeks. NOTHING.

Try going without a drink for 24 hours, not even rinsing your mouth. Try not eating anything for a day, 24 hours, on top of not having a sip of liquid.

Try it. See how long you last.... That is, no matter WHAT others may try to tell you, what Terri went through.

God bless

Blogburst in Memory of Terri Schiavo

Topics: Remembering Terri

On March 31, 2005, Terri Schindler Schiavo died of marked dehydration following more than 13 days without nutrition or hydration under the order of Circuit Court Judge, George W. Greer of the Pinellas-Pasco’s Sixth Judicial Court. Terri was 41.

It was nearly one year ago that Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube was removed for the purpose of ending her life. Nearly one year ago her legal guardian obtained a court order in public view to purposefully bring about her death by withholding the most basic of necessities. Yes, nearly one year ago Terri began 13 days without food or water.

We invite you to join us for a Blogburst in remembrance of Terri Schiavo beginning March 18th (or earlier). Over the 13 days we are asking our friends to write about Terri's life and death, link to her family's foundation (Terrisfight.org) and affirm the intrinsic dignity of human life.
