Remembering Terri Schindler Schiavo on the First Anniversary of Her Death


In loving Memory Terri Schindler Schiavo 1963-2005
March 31st is the one year anniversary of the death of Terri Schindler Schiavo. My heart still aches at the tragic loss of the life of this innocent woman. The nation grieves for her and remembers her gentleness, the love and zest she had for life, and how horrible she was treated by the man who legally controlled her life and was husband to her in name only.
God permitted her tragic death for a reason and she was truly a martyr in the pro-life movement. Her death was a dramatic wake-up call to all those in this country -- it alerted us all to the horrible tragedy of euthansia, which has become so commonplace in our society today. It caused some of us who were indifferent, apathetic, or unaware to take a long, hard look at the reality of what is going on in our society and to become more pro-active to prevent this same situation from happening to ourselves and others in the future. It strenghtened the resolve of those of us who were already actively involved in the pro-life movement to work and to pray even harder and to persevere in our efforts.

Below are some of my posts from last year when I reported on her tragic situation. I continue to pray for healing for her family and for repentance and conversion for her former spouse, Michael Schiavo.

I am still in awe of her family -- her parents and siblings -- who fought until the end for her life and were such a strong support for her. I thank the Lord for them and all the charitable work they continue to do to help others through the
Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation, a non-profit group dedicated to ensuring the rights of disabled, elderly and vulnerable citizens against care rationing, euthanasia and medical killing.
