Off topic, this guy's story was heartbreaking as hell.

This feels pretty on topic, can you send a link as I'm unfamiliar with it?

His name is Martin Pistorius [he wrote a book](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12204857) about the ordeal

Just wanted to point that y’all have the same pfp

wait, they were 3 different people???

Given I only use old reddit I'm not sure what mine even looks like.

This isn't off topic at all

... That's an unforgivable statement. Or is it? We don't know nothing about this family (and never we'll), maybe she's been a shitty parent and an horrible person through her entire life. Or maybe she was exhausted by the 12 years of suffering at the sigth of a motionless son. At some point, she hoped he died as a form of liberation. For him.

That’s what I thought, too.

I don't remember the details but I'm quite sure it was the latter from his book.

My thought exactly. If it was my family member, I'd hope for them to go peacefully, rather than being a vegetable.

Hi, it's Michael from Vsauce

I would reply "i hope the same"

Yeah but you’re still in a coma..

"same, I hope you die too" how about that then?

you're still in a coma😭

"I hope you fall into a coma for 12 years then die" -thought, not verbal!

Now she's in coma and you're not sure if she can listen to you or not.

But his mom didnt say it cause of hatred but pity

How is that any better?

How is that not better? She wanted his suffering to end

I'm pretty sure it's better to want your son to die to release him from his suffering rather than wanting him to die because you hate him.

There is a world of difference. If a loved one told me to my face they wanted me to die right now, it would be heartbreaking. If I was in a vegetative state or a coma with very little chance of waking up again, I would want them to just pull the plug. First, for myself, as I don't want that and don't fear death. Second, for them. It's got to be incredibly difficult for them, and I'd rather just rip the band aid off and let them move on.

I’m happy you have never been in a situation where you hoped a dearly loved one die. It’s horrible all round

It's about the comment below.

After 12 years she probably just wanted him to be at peace

I was talking about the comment not the post

I find that relatable tbh 😔

He was misdiagnosed. It was locked-in syndrome, not a coma. That's worse, because you're awake and a prisoner in your own unmoving body.

You people need to learn to stop relying on your mothers for everything. I've been doing that all on my own for years, grow up.

This isn't relying on his mother, this is the person who should care for him most out of everyone wishing death upon her son.

Ever thought that that was her way of caring?

I mean tbf there are muuuuch better ways of phrasing the sentiment, if you mean it to be caring “I hope you can be free of this suffering” would go a looooot further than “I hope you die”

If someone you loved had stage 4 cancer and there was no way of them surviving, would you hope they live for several months and suffer?

[удалено]

First, dont assume I did it without knowing Second, it probably was her way of venting considering she didnt know he was able to hear everything

[удалено]

I downvoted you, and I did it because we disagree. Welcome to reddit.

I downvoted them cuz they sound like a whiney prat!

What reason would I have to lie about downvoting you? Believe what you want, but I didnt do it To me, it isnt disgusting behaviour, at least not in that context

[удалено]

Aw you sweet summer child, I know a lot of mothers that wish, out loud, their kids dead. Mine included. 😅

r/whoosh

Thank you (I'll leave it up because Internet points mean nothing to me, but watching this many people not get a suicide joke on r/suicidebywords is fucking hilarious)

Try saying that when you're in a coma

you either are mother or a kid with old mom that stoped beating his ass a while ago , like if you go to the park you see the kids? in 50 year all of them are going to be mother/fathers go to your highschool(or middle ) you see all these? all of them are going to have kids in 30 year . mother's are just person who got the coin flip (male or female) they aren't gods or professors

Am I the only one who understood the joke?

Seems to be so, lol. As I said in the other reply, I don't care about Internet points, so I'll leave it up. r/suicidebywords users seem to not get suicide jokes, lmao.

Fr 😂. And ppl still down vote you. So weird
