I haven't finished sorting that out. But I do believe it is okay to end it, if the pain is not worth the experience. Lois knows my feeling on this. If I can lie without undue pain and watch a leaf flutter in the wind outside my window, I will be content and still happy.
My brother passed away a week ago.
Thank you for telling. We all have imperfections in our family lives and in our own lives. It is good when we say.
I don't welcome death but believe it is a new adventure .....
I am Christian and believe we remain in some form after life. But that does not affect my life (much). I am a Good person (I think) because it feels like this is imprinted on my soul. Not because it scores any points.
And even that might not matter because I am doing the best I can with the life I have. It has been a BLAST and a WILD ride! This place is excruciatingly beautiful and I will not want to leave it. But don't cry for me. I'm pretty sure I will feel satisfied and grateful on that bed of my death (if it comes to that). If this is all there is, it is enough for me. As I type, I am filling my lungs with air. I see colors. Beautiful colors. Smells. I've had a life that has been a sensory kaleidoscope. I know there is a God and I see this as a gift. And I can't fullyexpress my gratitude.
Does that answer your question Shaun?
