1. Yasmin Aga Khan:

   From the middle stage to the end, it took about maybe 4-5 years, when she was near death … I called in the priest for her last rites. And then she lived another two years. Her heart was so strong, but she really did n’t recognize anyone. It was a slow decline. She had wonderful care.

2. Natalie Wood:

   We gave Evan the last rites and then we turned off her life support, she was declared brain dead…The hospital kept giving me a sliver of hope. I knew it was wrong, but I wanted it to be true. So I hung on for a week. It’s rough. I feel like I’ve been very, very beaten. I hurt from head to toe with the pain of losing my daughter.
