This is what you get in a godless world. This poor woman doesn’t know she’s loved. She doesn’t understand that God loves her and has a plan for her.
This is euthanasia. It’s just repackaged. It’s Darwinism.
The Free Press: Zoraya ter Beek, 28, expects to be euthanized in early May.
Her plan, she said, is to be cremated.
“I did not want to burden my partner with having to keep the grave tidy,” ter Beek texted me. “We have not picked an urn yet, but that will be my new house!”
She added an urn emoji after “house!”
Ter Beek, who lives in a little Dutch town near the German border, once had ambitions to become a psychiatrist, but she was never able to muster the will to finish school or start a career. She said she was hobbled by her depression and autism and borderline personality disorder. Now she was tired of living—despite, she said, being in love with her boyfriend, a 40-year-old IT programmer, and living in a nice house with their two cats.
She recalled her psychiatrist telling her that they had tried everything, that “there’s nothing more we can do for you. It’s never gonna get any better.”
At that point, she said, she decided to die. “I was always very clear that if it doesn’t get better, I can’t do this anymore.”
As if to advertise her hopelessness, ter Beek has a tattoo of a “tree of life” on her upper left arm, but “in reverse.”
“Where the tree of life stands for growth and new beginnings,” she texted, “my tree is the opposite. It is losing its leaves, it is dying. And once the tree died, the bird flew out of it. I don’t see it as my soul leaving, but more as myself being freed from life.”
Her liberation, as it were, will take place at her home. “No music,” she said. “I will be going on the couch in the living room.”
She added: “The doctor really takes her time. It is not that they walk in and say: lay down please! Most of the time it is first a cup of coffee to settle the nerves and create a soft atmosphere. Then she asks if I am ready. I will take my place on the couch. She will once again ask if I am sure, and she will start up the procedure and wish me a good journey. Or, in my case, a nice nap, because I hate it if people say, ‘Safe journey.’ I’m not going anywhere.”
Then the doctor will administer a sedative, followed by a drug that will stop ter Beek’s heart.
When she’s dead, a euthanasia review committee will evaluate her death to ensure the doctor adhered to “due care criteria,” and the Dutch government will (almost certainly) declare that the life of Zoraya ter Beek was lawfully ended.
I read a piece that talked about this and the writer said they’re normally ok with doctor assisted suicide for terminally ill patients but not this. That’s such an odd and slippery condition, in that we are all terminal. It’s just a sliding scale. You can’t say suicide is fine for these but not for those. It is a sin. It is the rejection of God’s gift.
We must be absolute in our defense of life.

Please do not lose hope. Trust in the Lord. Hail Mary full of grace. You have purpose. #dotheprocess and grow in your faith. Prayed for you out loud. Jesus loves you and so will others as you return to loving yourself.

I will give you five bucks that this grisly, sentimental scenario is never played out.
This poor mess will get all of the attention that she requires for a few weeks. (May is only four weeks away).
Then it will dawn on her that this drama has a finale, but she won’t hear the applause.
We should all mutter a prayer for her.

I wouldn’t be so sure. I prayed for a terminally ill man who was dterermined to kill himself, despite loving family and friends. in the end, he succeeded, though there were some signs of grace intervening.
No, this is a terrible thing, no mistake and takes a lot of prayer to mitigate or stop.

The key words in this person’s description is “Borderline Personality Disorder”.
With these people it is maximum drama at all times. Maximum attention at all times.
Then, when you think that you are helping…..boom!….. they change their mind.
I could write a book about these characters.. Have dealt with them my whole adult life.

what thoughts come to mind if we factor in that, when women commit suicide they more often than not fail because psychiatric research says its a cry for help not a true desire for death. Then, presumably they get help. Killing them isnt help. This is just sad and (for me) further proof that the elites are like Pharoah…afraid that the numbers of the Israelites have increased…his power threatened.
