It has almost been a year ago now that my husband Tim has been gone. He sustained severe head injuries from a snowmobile accident last winter. I can't seem to understand why his life had to be so short. He was such a caring man. He was 27 at the time of his death. I had to make the decision to take him off life support at the age of 25. I don't know if anyone understands how hard it was for me at my age too. It was the most difficult decision I have had to make. There was no hope for a surgical option. He would of never been able to speak or walk. Sometimes I feel that I am responsible for his death although I know I did the right thing. I ask myself if my life will ever be happy again. Is there anyone else who understands what it's like to have to make the ultimate life/death decision? I need to know I'm not the only one. I need the reassurance from someone besides family and friends.
