"But I just don't know how to help somebody die." Don't. Help them live. Every moment of every single day. Find a reason to laugh, to smile, to giggle, to be silly. There will be time enough 'after' to figure out the rest.

I am so glad that woman started your day out right. She is an example of how we should all live, being mindful of those around us. I agree with late_bloomer "But I just don't know how to help somebody die." Don't. Help them live. Every moment of every single day. Find a reason to laugh, to smile, to giggle, to be silly. There will be time enough 'after' to figure out the rest. Make as many fun memories as you can right now, they will help sustain you afterwards. And remember that being there with someone through their end of life journey is the most precious part of life you can share. Its not easy by any means, but it is very precious.

Why dont I see crutches under those shadow pits? hmmmm? YAY on driving privileges and toe power. Lol I so wanna hollar 'put the pedi to the pedal and the pedal to the metal!" Guess I just did. It sucks. Super sucks actually darling and I am so sorry. Physical pain is safer than the emotional shit. AT least physical has treatment options that we know about and can request or control. You dont think, girl, you just do. You do it the best ya can, when and how ya can. You cant really plan or think about it cuz it will paralyze you, so you dont think you just do. Why? cuz you cant really do anything else. And sometimes you cry all alone in the shower cuz that the only place that has more water coming out than you do and you have no idea how in anyones world you possibly CAN or how anyone can expect you to, then the next hour you see a dew drop clinging to a leaf reflecting sunlight and bouncing rainbows straight at you and you know....... somehow you just do. You can. You will and you will do it with the perfect amount of care and love. You just will. Trust me. But its still gonna suck  Sometimes I make a move, sorry to leave my home, but hope I will find another of equal character. At night I gaze at the starry mass with no idea to which one the earth attached. May'be that cute little one over there or that one that sits alone in the inky black. ~~ 'My place amongst the stars' c/o former member SPB ~~

It's often those tough, disgustingly tragic times that little things become immensely beautiful. And sometimes those little moments are all there is to hang on to.

They need a yoga smiley, don't they? Who doesn't open doors like that? That's some sort of mean crowd. Mean. <--- shortened his name to Fella_

I'm so sorry that you've experienced as much loss as I have… genuinely sorry that you've gone through the same, Doc. Life is so fucking tough sometimes. +++ I see. That - the fading - is terrible news. And yeah, it's fucked up in every way. PS: Thank you for asking. That was kind. I hope that you're doing well, Doc. How are you? +++ It's nothing.  And I'm doing OK, ty for asking.
