Mountain Ash Member Registered: 12/30/05 Posts: 3027	We are living through the final days of two people at this present time. what you say Josie...I echo..mostly the message.."We love you" it says it all..that without doubt the person/people who our friends love and will leave will be in our circle for ever. because they are no longer in this dimension we with add yet more love. Its painful waiting...but it reinforces that each day is important.

The doctors already told him he didn't have long. Here is what I said to him, "Dad, I know what the doctors said, but I am here to tell you it is still okay to hope." I learned that from the twilight brigade dot org. This is an organization founded by Dannion Brinkley, they help those in the hospice, in particular those who are in the military.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Well Anne, gift or rotten cook, I'm sure even if she didn't say it, she also thought of you as her angel at times and did appreciate you. Some people just can't allow themselves the pleasure of a kind word to someone else and that is so very sad. You know you did right by her and thats all that matters... _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

Anne was extremely self-sacrificing. No one could have done more for their mother, and I'm sure she appreciated Anne's every comfort measure. I know I would have. _________________________ Josie

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Whatever you do for someone very ill or dying isn't enough. I don't mean that the way it sounds, what I mean is at a time like that, they need more than most even realize. Give of yourself first and foremost, you will never regret it. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Cousin never told me she was terminal. We talked by phone every few days. We reminiscenced and laughed 'bout old times. I didn't know the last year of her life, was the last year of her life. It was probably better that way. She knew I was going through heavy-duty stuff with another mutual friend and didn't want to add more heaviness to my spirit. Had I known, I don't think I would've known what to say. I've two other friends currently terminal; not only don't I know what to say, sometimes I don't know what to think or how to act. There is so much sadness in this ole world; my thoughts are looking forward to Heaven and Eternal peace!
