That’s a MOTHER right there.❤
It's so wrong that her husband left her and moved on with his life and also so sad that her friends stop coming to see her. You don't need people like that in your life.
The world doesnt stop for you nor anyone. So why should an individual put a pause on their life simply because you lack coping skills?
Husband got tired of being with a woman who had obviously already given up on their marriage since the only focus was the disabled daughter. Friends arent required to go with you to visit YOUR family. In some situations, hospitals will only allow visits from immediate relatives.
You certainly do not!!! So much for loyalty! 🙄 It’s like the Bible says: “The love of the greater number has cooled off.” So sad, yet still very true unfortunately. 😢
@@selectiveapathy Is you mad?
@@selectiveapathyfeelings are not like a faucet you can’t just shut them off and if you’re able to do that then there were never feelings there in the first place. None of my Mom’s friends came to see her or even ask how she was and I don’t speak to any of them anymore. They sure loved my Mom when she was healthy and well and could do favors for them. This is why I have no use for people today it’s just ice cold to have an attitude like that towards people who through no fault of their own have found themselves in this situation😡
Nothing greater than a mother’s love. A good mother, that is.
Mom had a feeling not to give up. She felt it !!!
I wish we all did that for each other!!!
The genuine love of a mother is unmatched by any other human. God bless them both ❤
I did the same for my mother after the whole family had given up on her after a bad car accident. The doctors had told us she was brain dead and I told them that wasn’t true, and six weeks later, she woke up out of her coma.
Guess the brain heals
Somehow still bound to a wheelchair huh? Yeah that sounds like a depressing life you set her up for. Im sure your mother sees herself more as a burden than really being “thankful” the plug wasnt pulled.
@@CruzCruz-nw7fi tell that to people who suffered traumatic brain injuries… see how well they can live their lives with newly “healed” brain.
@@selectiveapathyare you God to determine she is better dead than alive

Ten yers ago, I survived a car accident as a paraplegic and missing one leg. I'm so glad I survived. I'd been in the cult called Jehovah's Witnesses all my life. But five years ago, I woke up from that horrible mind-control. Better late than never.
I love this beautiful story!❤
Happy Mother's Day
The power of love…amazing Mom! There are angels among us…..this Mom is definitely an angel❤️blessings to these wonderful women❣️
Now thats a true Mothers love❤❤❤❤❤
Similar thing happened to a friend. Docs said no hope and that he was brain dead. Family had him moved back to US hospital near home. With years of hard work and a couple brain surgeries, he learned everything all over, finished college, sings with choirs, gives talks both motivational and for the church. Never underestimate God and a mother's love.
It must I’ve been heartbreaking for the mom each time she went to the hospital but she kept going and kept believing. She was allowing her daughter to make the decision to live or not (body shutting down or not). If she had pulled the plug I feel like she would’ve spent a long time wondering “if I held on for one more day” or “did I do the right thing”.
Wow what a story of love and tenacity, perserverance❤
Welcome back Jennifer ❤ you are blessed ❤
God has blessed you both 😊
Bless her heart! 🙏 Good mom.
Happy mother's day.
Wooow what a mother.God bless her.The boys are enjoying their mom now and her mom too.She also feel loved and special
Amazing love + patience = a daughter brought back from the brink!! God bless this mom. ❣
This proves that one should never ever give up.❤❤
Is anybody else brought to tears by this segment or am I just a softy?
Wasn't quite expecting the overwhelming feeling I got from this! Beautiful!!!
May God bless her and her family ❤🙏
A mother’s unconditional love. ❤️
I've seen this before my next door neighbors son was in a coma and he woke up thank God that she kept him on life support because he is still here thank God for moms
What a true mom! So glad they have each other!❤
I wonder how many people who could have recovered were taken off life support because they were given a grim prognosis. I think that in a few years we will find out that a lot of patients could have made if if they were given enough time and a lot of care
If this were me, I wouldn't rather not live this kind of life. For me, the kind thing to do is to let me go
@@ontoyoualways9183 same here, she will basically need 24-hour care which the burden will now transfer to her kids once the mom pass away. That is unless they out her in a nursing home
Goes withou saying...may God bless her mom...what incredible duo❤
The definition of stick to your gut. What a beautiful story
Happy mothers day jennifer ❤
Hello from Chattanooga Tennessee. That's the best mother's day is your children ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
Onwards and upwards beautiful family, am in awe,! Best wishes from UK 🇬🇧 😊
You most Certainly hear when you are in a coma! 60 days, three hospitals later I was home after being t-boned by Tyler Wilson. I wish him Karma everyday, cause my poor body was left side crushed. He lied about having permission to drive his friend’s pick-up. He put his cooler in the back of my car & was sitting in my backseat when state cop pulled up. He stole items too. A conversation with a hospital employee a few weeks later brought what a neighbor said back to me while in a coma. I unfortunately moved here, healthcare is a joke. My life will never be the same, however seeing this puts it in perspective!
Why do doctors hate keeping people on life support so bad? What's the harm with waiting? Horrifying to think how often we'd have stories like this if docs didn't push for pulling the plug/feeding tube so early so often.
Nothing like a Mother’s love for her children ❤️❤️ so very very happy for your family 🙏🏻🙏🏻 God Bless you all!!
LORD please bless this family... Give this beautiful woman total Restoration in the face of mankind.... Show the world once again that Nothing is impossible with U. Hallelujah.
Amazing story yet she was able to see her mom❤
God bless her and you all! ❤
That’s a MOTHERS LOVE!
Oh men you make me cry
I was so moved by this mother's incredible resilience. As a mother, I recently wrote a book about my two children and their near-death experiences at different times. Doctors had me bring in end-of-life for my children. I could not, did not give up. I believe I have shared this mother's many emotions of despair, worry, extreme sadness, helplessness, and fear. The hours, days, & weeks by a child's bedside allows ample time for thoughts & prayer. Near Death by Fire and Ice is a quick read, full of miracles & hope.
Happy Mother’s Day. Great mother and best friend
There is no love like a mother love for her daughter! God bless her and your family!!😍🙏🏾
❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢 this is so damn beautiful a story of a great mothers undying love n support for her offspring 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow! This is such a wonderful story ❤‼️
this is amazing...and also upsetting as I remember how adamant the doctor was to remove my brother from life support before even 24 hours had passed.
Absolutely beautiful 💞✌
Incredible .Hope she continues to improve!
What a wonderful mom. I hope her daughter continues to improve.
“In sickness and in health”. Well he was a wrong choice anyway. 👋
Steve, I'm gonna need you to give me at least one episode where I don't cry, or feel the need to cry like a baby. Just one! Jokes aside, this is the best series period. My heart is full.
Pretty lady, she's truly blessed. Continued prayers
God bless this mother, her daughter and their family. juSt woW.
My mom had a friend like this. Was in a bad car accident and afterwards couldn't move, talk or anything. She just passed away a couple months ago.
I wish my mother was like this one!
There's is no manual written to tell a Mother how to Love there Child or Children 👍🏻👍🏻❤❤
God Bless❤
A true Mothers love ❤️!!!!!
You give the thanks and glory to God because God gets the glory for not allowing her to be taken from you. He brought her back to you. I could not have my life without the Lord in it. God is good all the time and all the time God is good and he works miracles. If you just give yourself over to him I’m so happy for you and for your daughter. God bless you both.🙏
Really wonderful.
god bless this family
Oh my god it would have been so heartbreaking to stay in a coma, worrying about when your life is going to end from the plug. And even worse, her busband left her... 😢... Im so glad she had a beautiful soul of a mom.
WOW !
Its amazing how the brain can heal.
She did what every Mama would do!
Who is going to pay the hospital bill?
❤️Never give up on Love❤️
Incredible
How has she been doing?
Mother knows best
yes!!!!
There's NOTHING like a mother's love nothing
She has a Good Mom.❤
There's no telling how many have died bc doctors give up! My dad would have died 3 times before his time if we had listened to Dr's!
Yay! Never give up!
Well that is why it is important to talk deeply when you are healthy… i would not like to be ressucitated in that terrible condition .. my 35 yo daughter idem…
God is good!❤❤❤😊
My girlfriends daughter has been in coma 8 years
Praise God Praise God and praise God amen God bless them both in His love God bless
They can HEAR IN THE COMA
❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤😢😢
A miracle from God🙏
A mothers love ❤
Beautiful amazing ❤
She comes in from Florida once a month
This is truly a wonderful mother's day story. And as always, Steve Hartman brings me to tears. He must have stock in Kleenex or something.
Sorry to say Jennifer can hear while she's in a coma
As long as her spirit is still in her body!
❤❤🙏🏽
Who's cutting onions???
Beautiful story, i am one person who doesn't believe in pulling the plug on anyone. We are not God.
How did she pay for it?
I had septisemia as a result of chemo drugs rotting my bowel and stomach as I had leukaemia I was in a coma doctors said nothing could be done my mum said I will make it and I did🇬🇧🇫🇴
Who is raising her kids?
Maybe their dad? Or maybe they're grown now. Just speculating.
Whatever Jennifer's wishes were - her wishes should gave been followed.
Wow
Great love conquers it.
And the daughter quality of life???
I would hope my family would disconnect me!
I kind of feel the same. Like what kind of a life can a person have when they have lost their ability to do things for themselves? You have no freedom or privacy!
She was off life support, still living, just in a coma. If you’re surviving on your own, you want your family to, what, smother you? What is your view on the value of life?
@@jennifer7648she was off life support, just in a coma. You would be advocating for being put to death? Makes one wonder how you value life, doesn’t it?
As a person who had his life saved. My advice would be to pull the plug. That is what I wish someone would have told the doctors for me. There is no chance to recover from anything in America! It is impossible. She is wearing a mask just like I do. I look OK on the outside, and I can walk and take care of myself.
The real problems exist in working and living in a paranoid world and an extremely aggressive work ethic in America! Taxes are outrageously aggressive and extremely difficult to keep up with. Being single means you pay the maximum amount in gut wrenching Taxes and almost always owe more, even claiming 0! I can't get a loan because of bad credit, but I have 0 debt. Please, if any family members have to go through this, pull the plug. Don't make someone wear one of these awful masks because it sucks not being able to recover or even recognize yourself.
Hugs!❤
You being real and honest says what a wonderful person you are. Life is difficult for everyone. It’s just too difficult to move forward sometimes.
If I didn’t have my faith I would be depressed.
I have to agree with you. I'm so sorry that this has happened to you. I have told my children that after 2 weeks on LS let me go.
❤️❤️❤️🏆🏆🏆✅✅✅💯💯💯💐💐💐
