My daughter has courageously decided to chose heaven over the hospital in the face of unfathomable adversity. Her experience is proof of the resilience of the human spirit and the efficacy of love in the face of death.

The Devastating Decision

The hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with as a parent has been witnessing my daughter struggle with a fatal illness. She has had innumerable hospital trips, therapies, and prayers, but her condition has not improved. My daughter said, “I want to stop fighting and embrace peace in heaven,” with devastating certainty.

A Parent’s Predicament

It has been excruciating for me as a parent to deal with my daughter’s choice. On the one hand, I want to savor every second we have together and explore every avenue of treatment. Nonetheless, I can appreciate her desire for an end to her anguish. We’re all on this terrible road together, negotiating a decision that no parent should ever have to make.

The Power of Love

Despite everything that has happened during this journey, family and friends’ steadfast love and support have remained constant. In our darkest moments, their sensitivity and compassion have been a ray of hope. My daughter can now find comfort and tranquility in her final days in our loving and accepting sanctuary.
