I can’t think of anything more cruel then of a mother knowing the hour when her baby is going to die. Maybe the only worse thing is seeing her child dying. I would never let my mother watch my execution. I can’t but keep thinking about how it is to Richard Cartwright and his poor mother now..Can’t even focus on work that I have to do..Don’t know if I am more sad or angry..and so, so helpless…<br>

so you don't think it matters how much the mother of the inmate executed hurts because their death should be easier since they can "prepare" for it? I'm quite sure they do grieve and for that I am sorry,but that is no excuse for the crimes that got them where they are.

Lost of any kind is horrible but I feel the lost of a child unexpectantly is much harder . I have knowledge of this because I speak from experience. My daughter would of been 16 this year .I am not discounting the mother of an executed inmate 's pain ,not in any way ,but in that case they know it is going to happen . Not saying that makes it any easier but I feel it is different types of mourning.
I hope I explained it right because I mean no offence.

:-[TO HAVE A RELATIVE SUDDENLY TAKEN FROM US IS HEARTWRENCHING BUT FOR THE STATE TO TAKE A HUMAN LIFE CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS BARBARIC :'(THE STATES NOT BETTER THAN THE PERSON THAT COMMITED THE CRIME

so you don't think it matters how much the mother of the inmate executed hurts because their death should be easier since they can "prepare" for it? In a sense, I have to agree with that post. I dont think the pain is any less, but they do have time to deal with the issue. Imagine it this way if you will (and this is just a mental image. I am in no way comparing, even though I am sure someone will say I am) a loved one was diagnosed with cancer. Would you rather know they are dying and have time to deal with the issue and let that loved one know how much you are for them? Or have them just drop dead with no warning?

Another thing, and I hope my friend forgives me for posting this should she ever read it, but I can not help but be so consumed with anger when I think about what she has been through because of this person. She lived with years and years of physical abuse and mental abuse. She was beat at least once a week, she came to school many times with black eyes and bruises everywhere. She has the lowest self esteem of anyone I know and she is a beautiful person. She was raped by three men at once. There is one night she doesnt remember because she was slipped a date rape drug; she and I both think she was raped that night also. She has been attacked because of her desire for him to be executed. She is suffering every day. She feels the murder is her fault somehow and also feels she is cursed because of the loved ones she has lost. She has spoken with his family and tried to make some sense out of everything. They visited with her one time and now have nothing to do with her. Nothing out of line was said at their meeting. I was with her and it went very well. They both took turns talking about their loved ones life. All of this because this person decided in one evil moment to murder. Measure that degree of pain.
