Thanks for reminding me of this. I had been vocal on many lists, up to a
couple years ago; my wife, with whom I'm having 'differences in relationship
perceptions' (hehe - 16 years of negotiating how to enjoy life together)
changed this. She got hit with a couple viruses, and is slowly dying due to
the infections, reactive arthritis, fybromialgia/ankylosing spondilitis, a
wrecked immune system... She's mobile and trying to enjoy life, but it's a
battle - one she doesn't always want to fight now. She's my greatest teacher
right now. It's difficult, learning the loving embrace of Kali, but there IS
great love, warmth and care - the sense of coming home to mom's kitchen of
smells, treats, and warmth after a long, hard day. None of us are ever,
truly alone, and the path we walk is common to all. To take this on as one's
life work is an incredible aspiration and a divine path; many blessings. -----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: [K-list] loving the dying Dear Susan:
Thank you for sharing your love with us. I read your post yestderday and
kept thinking about it. I became the woman you helped. :-)
This is what I feel: I am so helpless. I know I am dying. I am so ugly
now
and so helpless. So much pain. All these people touching my body. All
these
people looking at me. God, please just let me die. I don't want to
depend
upon them or anyone else. But I have no choice. God has put me here.
I am so humiliated. I cannot even get up to go the bathroom. They are
going
to bring the commode here. people walking around. No privacy anymore.
But
wait, loving eyes. Loving helping hands. Love holding me for just a few
precious moments in time. Thank you God, for eveything.
Thank you Susan, for sharing the Love.
Love , Joyce
