(((((Thank You All)))))

[Guest guest]

I am still some what in shock. You can think you are ready for this, that you

knew you were going to lose her, but there really is no way to prepare for it. I

understand her choice and I can't say I wouldn't have done the same. She had no

more control over her life but she could control how she died. I know she chose

not to let it get so far that her family had to make the choice. Once in goes to

the brain you are put on live support even if you have a DNR in place leaving

the family to make that choice. LIke one on you said " thank God all I have is

RA " ! I wrote a poem years ago when a friend of the family died and I still feel

the way I did about death. I will let you read it and pray it brings comfort to

anyone who needs it.

God bless you all!!

DEATH? By Doneta A.

Is it smothering darkness, deafening oblivion, decaying pulp, an end of

existence? As the faithless would have us believe?

Or is there a mirror world after but without the endless arduous struggle to

survive? No throbbing internal scars perpetrated in the alleged name of love and

good intention? Where man is enveloped by an internal ethereal love shining

bright as tens of thousands of suns? Where creature minds (fully aware of even

the minutest transgression committed) driven to madness by, where mortal eyes

eternally blinded by, where corporeal bodies are withered beneath, its

commanding greatness?

Death, a metamorphosis allowing us egress into that inconceivable world. Do

tears fall while the caterpillar weaves its cocoon, mourning the end of life its

known? Death is the chrysalis, our still corpse the shell left behind, as our

soul emerges a blessed butterfly floating heavenward and softly alighting upon a

rose in Eternals garden.
