Now we can pray for the eternal repose of Brittany’s soul. What the POW said is true: Murder kills one man but suicide kills everyone. It is the ultimate “jumping ship,” abandoning the human family and judging all their efforts to improve the world and love as pointless.

My sisters and I had a conversation about this and what we think we would do in Brittany’s shoes. I wasn’t sure what the right answer was, because my main thought was, how can you ask someone to suffer longer if they can escape from it and be with Jesus? But you are exactly right. You make the sacrifice and live on for the sake of others. Thank you for writing this.

I had to use your link to find her story. As a health care provider who has been with so many people on their death beds that I can’t even count–this really breaks my heart. I cried the entire article as I read her story. It was hard to come back to this site.
I have worked with patients that none of us ever thought would live. We told them they would die and they had a 0% chance. They chose to fight and we did what we could expecting pain, suffering and ultimately death. And we’ve been shocked to see them come through. God is the ultimate Healer–no matter how dire your condition seems, or talented your team of practitioners.
As I’ve held the hands of the dying, I’ve thought and even told them that I’m jealous–because I can’t imagine a world without sin. No eye has seen and no ear has heard–but I know it will be wonderful beyond belief when I finally get there. But I have a job to do here–it’s my job to take as many people with me as possible. And I can’t do that if I choose to end my life early (even if I don’t label it “suicide”). To voluntarily cut my time short, I in essence give up on others.
God has changed the hearts of kings, I can only pray that He will change Brittany’s heart–or give a voice to a relative who can find words that matter.
May the Holy Spirit pierce your heart with TRUTHS that you understand Brittany.
