This is pretty normal for parents with a child who attempted suicide. If you don't want your kid to become a knight of the rope, asking them if they feel sad a lot and why they think they're sad is a good first step. You get some surprising and pretty interesting (and depressing) answers. Too bad no one can ask Archie.
On another topic, I had an interesting conversation with someone at work about pro-life positions. I never understood what old timers meant by "it's all over, but for the shouting." Sometimes death has occured. Archie had brain matter in his spinal column. If his EEG shows no activity and he has brain matter in his spinal column, it really is over, no matter what Hollie or anyone else says.
I wonder if she has the empathy to understand that many of the people who looked at Archie probably wondered why this had to happen and how sad it is we can't all shave years off our own lives and give them to him and fix him. It's horrible to fail a young boy like this, even if there was no way to succeed.
She's so weird that I can't figure out what she's thinking. I've seen parents fling themselves into graves and refuse to turn over dead children to the point of being hostile to staff. I guess at least she's enough of a narc she doesn't have to live in that hell of replaying every single step of Archie's existence wondering whose fault it was. That kind of thing destroys people from the inside out.
