how you arrived at that decision and why?

My brother fell into a coma due to complications from Diabetes at 28 years old. He suffered a heart attack and the doctors believed that he was too long without sufficient oxygen and was brain dead. He was in ICU like that for a week and they said that we ( mother, sister and I) had to decide whether to keep him on life support or let him go. He was our baby brother and had a terrible life in and out of the hospital since 6 years old.
But you still never want to be in that situation. The doctor said he would never regain conciousness. My mother posed the question to us and we came to the heartbreaking conclusion that we had to let him go. What was even harder was that my father had just died 6 months before that from a heart complication and we had spent the day at his bedside before he died as well.
We agreed to take my baby brother off the life support and held his hands as he drifted away. It was the most horrible experience of my life and I will never ever get over that moment and how it felt and what I saw is still in my mind as if it happend today. It's been 5 years and I miss him more than I can tell you.
I pray you never have to experience anything like that.

before i deployed to Iraq I went home on leave and I was in the middle of the thought that i may die young. I had a woman i cared about. The decision was whether or not I should marry this woman. I loved her. I really did. And I decided that regardless of how any of this turns out, i think i would rather take the risk of a failed marraige rather than die not having lived. So I proposed to her. She said yes, and then I went back to Germany and readied myself to go to Iraq. I was calm, collected, and happy. Even when the whole relationship fell apart from underneath my feet i was still calm collected and happy. I never doubted for one moment that I had made the right decision. In the end it still hurt, but I knew that there was still hope for something, just never could give it a name. And that something is still not her, just for the record.

About 10 years ago my husband told me that he had had sex with another woman. He truly felt terrible for having betrayed me and he begged me to forgive him. I had to decide whether or not to give him another chance, whether or not to trust him again.
I found out that I was more concerned about if he had loved her or not than I was that he had sex with her once. That surprised me, I wouldn't have guessed that it would have mattered. I realized that sex is a fairly meaningless act, whereas love means everything.
My friends all told me that I had every right to dump him and that I should never give him a second chance to cheat on me. I thought a lot about that but I wondered, altho I had every right to leave him, was leaving him the right thing to do?
I decided that the 12 years that we had been together at that point was not going to be thrown away because of one stupid night. I forgave him and he hasn't betrayed our marriage again. We're coming up on our 22 anniversary and we're happier than ever. It was the right decision.

One can't miss something they've never had.
