The scene when Terri dies was really hard for me to see. I had not seen
this ep before, but had just read Elisabeth Glaser's autobiography, "In the
Absence of Angels". In it she describes the moment when her daughter Ariel
died. She said they were packing up getting ready to go home, Ariel made
some coughing sounds that were really just ragged breaths. Both Elisabeth
and Paul crawled into bed with their daughter and held her as she quietly
passed. Elisabeth didn't even remember how they got home, or if Paul said
anything to her at all. Just that they wanted people around them. Paul
took pictures of Ariel and ones they had drawn together, then arranged them
on a wall. As if telling her life story while crying and reliving his
daughter's life. This reminded me so much of when my mother died last year
from cancer. Death is quiet sometimes and even when you should be ready it
is hard to watch such sweet souls leave this earth.
