Is it time to let go...

I was sitting here watching the latest Grays Anatomy and it happened again - the drama in front of me, albeit fictional, was real enough to me to inspire me to cry.

There was a patient on life support and the family was faced with the situation of whether to prolong the family member's life on the machine's and wait for the inevitable to happen anyway or let him go now and let him die with dignity and out of pain.

I was not responding to the literal event before me, but to the symbolism I saw in my own life to this situation. I think that I may be putting my a certain situation in my life on life support instead of letting it die with dignity.

So now I need to ask myself -- what do I do with this realization...
