I just want to say how very sorry I am about the loss of your stepfather and the difficult decision you and your family had to make. My friend's boyfriend ended up in a coma nearly three years ago and his family had to take him off life-support as well. She's not coping well; here it is now all this time later and she's STILL in denial over his death. I really hope you and your loved ones will be able to get through this. My thoughts are with you.
