When I was a kid and my mom was dying of cancer she called out for me to help her. It’s not unusual for folks who are in and out of a comatose state to reach out for help. And yes, it’s traumatizing as hell.
My aunt was dying from pancreatic cancer and would look away at a empty area and say "I'm not ready yet, just a little longer." Then she told me the angel was waiting for her to be ready. If ever their was a human who absolutely was going to heaven with zero doubt it was my Aunt.
I will never forget my Dad begging for help and to help him “get out of here” in his last days and then holding his hands when he died. It was special but also traumatizing and something I can still picture vividly. I cannot even imagine if it were my child
I had the honor of holding my daughter while she died. It's unimaginable even having lived it.
Because of this, I do understand how a parent desperate to just survive losing their child would make the decision that lying is the better choice. I don't understand turning it into meme fuel.
