After reading all these hateful comments about Jesse and Ashley I’m so disappointed!!! All because you don’t agree with someone else’s decision?? I understand Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions, but that doesn’t give you the right to attack, judge or add more pain to those that are already hurting as is.
The reality is that none of us are living their lives. None of us were in the room during those conversations, sitting through the appointments, hearing the medical information, weighing the options, or carrying the emotional burden that came with making such a difficult decision. It’s easy to judge from the outside when you haven’t had to face the situation yourself. You don’t have to agree with the decision that was made. That’s your right. But there’s a difference between respectfully expressing an opinion and going out of your way to tear someone down when they’re already hurting. Compassion shouldn’t depend on whether you agree with someone. Basic human decency should still matter. What I’ve seen in some of these comments is less about concern and more about people looking for an opportunity to criticize and judge.
At the end of the day, this was a deeply personal decision made between them and their medical team after a great deal of thought, emotion, and consideration. Whether people agree with it or not, they are still human beings who deserve kindness and respect. Stop acting immature about it! All because it’s not what you would have done yourself.
The negative comments may be loud, but they don’t speak for everyone. There are many people who understand that life isn’t always black and white and that sometimes people are forced to make incredibly difficult choices. Those people are choosing empathy over judgment.
Healing is hard enough without strangers adding to the weight they’re already carrying. No matter what anyone’s opinion is, nobody deserves to be torn apart simply because others would have made a different choice.
I hope both of take some time and space to heal and move forward. There are many people who support you and want the best for your family. I’m one of them, and I’ll continue to have your back. ❤️ you always gotcha.
