"As R.J. Voigt confronts his impending death, so must his mother. For the families of terminally ill children, there are no guidelines for letting go." (BALTIMORE SUN) This article, the third in a series of four, chronicles the struggles of R.J. Voigt and other critically ill children and relates the efforts of some "to help doctors and families to acknowledge earlier on in a child's illness that he might die--to try to make the family's time together, and the child's death, reflect their values and wishes."
