Imagine the fear that comes with contemplating death. It’s this fear that drives our desire for fairytales, reminding us of the magic and beauty of life.
Long-term suffering is painful not just for those affected but also for their families, leading some to feel that letting go might be better than enduring the pain.
A remarkable story is that of Martin Pistorius from South Africa. At just 12, he fell ill and was diagnosed with a degenerative disease, leaving him in a vegetative state for 12 years.
Although he believes he became aware of his surroundings around age 14 or 15, others thought he was unresponsive. His mother once wished he was dead, unaware he could hear her heartbreak.
In a powerful NBC interview, Pistorius shares his experience of being trapped in his own body for over a decade.
Please share his inspiring story with your friends!
