A world of Judgemental people

On November 1st the world lost a beautiful person whom I didn't even know, but I felt like I understood.  Brittany Maynard was a woman who was suffering from a brain tumor stage 4 brain cancer.  After hearing from the doctor in April that there was no more they could do for her, she wanted a chance at Death with Dignity.  The world sees it as suicide, but after suffering agonizing seizures where when she came to she couldn't recognize her surroundings nor remember her husband's name I felt for her and understood.
During the last Four years I've felt that way every time I have a seizure, the longer it takes to come out of one, when I can't remember things- I understand how she could want to end it all.  I don't see it as suicide, I see it as ending the pain.  That may sound selfish, but when you've taken every medication and nothing works and you are at the end except for surgery, a surgery that you don't know  will work at all.

There are a lot of judgmental people in the world, who until you are in the situation really have no reason to be saying "she killed herself, plain and simple." Because nothing is simple when you are dying.
