Yesterday was a tough day. I learned my cousin Judy, who has been battling cancer, is loosing that battle. She has but days remaining. I pray for a peaceful passing.
I was asked to call cousin Faith (different branch of the family) to give her the news. She was understandably upset. I learned from her that on Feb. 23, she will be going in for surgery to remove cancer in her “female organs”. I pray for a successful surgery.
It is absolutely to remain focused and vie for that serenity. Not to let it elude us, because whether you look left or right, awful things are happening.
Gaining some kind of perspective that doesn’t let us become overwhelmed.
My son was recently so ill that I was in danger of losing him. He was unconscious for eight days. I’ve gone through life threatening ordeals with him on many occassions. This last time was almost overwhelming. I almost lost it (as well as him)…what allowed me to stay in the here and now, to survive was the support I got from people halfway around the world.
Eric you are so right about the need for that serenity. I do admire your strength.
I am a 61 year old male. At the age of 52 I was told by my doctor I am dying. For the past 4 years, I have done my best to deal with both congestive heart failure and a brain tumor, while knowing my days are indeed numbered. It is my hope that by sharing my experiences, I can encourage others faced with the same situation. I hope to also help the families of those individuals to have an understanding of the process and deal with the fear or dread of being around the dying.
I am not a doctor, not a man of the clergy, I am not a therapist. I am just me, Bill Howdle, I am merely sharing my thoughts and ideas. I write of death and dying, understand this is my personal prospective, based on what I am encountering.
Praying with you Bill.
Thank you Henri
