I can't even imagine what it was like. I hope you sued these people! There is no excuse for that kind of gross negligence. I send my condolences to you and your family for this horrible, and unneccesary loss. How horrible that must have been for her to endure and for the family to watch.

She thought about it a lot. She screamed a lot in pain and then she would stop and she would shake her head in disbelief and say " I can't believe he did this", the tears would roll down her cheeks and she would tell me the story over and over. She loved this man that drove her that day. She told him how frightened she was because he was speeding. She had told him this before yet he continued to make her afraid. She begged him to slow down as he went into that steep curve to get onto the interstate. As she would reach that point in her story she would close her eyes tight and shudder, the tears flowing easily now, and she would ask me why he did this to her. I would always take her hand and silently hold back my own tears, finally take a deep breath and tell her it was okay, that she was safe now and he would never hurt her again. We went through this same scenario daily and sometimes many times a day. The suffering was great, her heart was broken for this man she trusted HAD BETRAYED her and she lay in that bed unable to move, the pain so horrific that even I as a hospice nurse who thought I had seen it all, had never seen anyone so tortured in my life. Nothing brought her peace...... Yes Mary, she thought about it. She thought about it a lot.
