A Life That Matters - The Legacy of Terri Schiavo - A Lesson for All of Us

Imagine how it would feel to be called in the middle of the night with the news that your healthy, vibrant daughter has fallen, is unconscious, and cannot be revived... to care for your wounded adult child twenty-four hours a day... to have your daughter's husband, a valued ally in the early days, turn against you... to be rebuffed by the American court system at every turn in your efforts to prevent your daughter's feeding tube from being removed. Imagine being powerless to save the life of your daughter. What would this do to you soul? This is what happened to us, and this book is the story of how we dealt with this crisis - as individuals and as a family. This is Terri's story - the story of her life and the story of our battle to prevent her death. We lost that battle, but we hope to keep Terri's memory alive and to make a difference in the lives of others with disabilities.
